The Battle Of Yenwood Field Units Question

[Eguzky]

Is the Arquebus units the ONLY unit I can get for the scripted event preceeding the on-screen battle (Which can include Ogres and Archers from the expansion) without owning the expansion?

I can't afford the expansions (Even discounted ) so I only have 1 option during the scripted event, leaving me a huge mass of soldiers I have to fight?

If I can't get non-expansion options to deal with all 3, or at least 2, of the scripted options...That feels kinda cruddy. It's basically saying 'You can make it easier if you pay us for the expansion!'

I've googled around, and everything says to use the ogres (from The White March Pt 1) and the Pathfinders (from The White March Pt. 2). Nothing mentions any alternatives to those two.

Without White March factions helping you, you only have one option during the event yes, and that's using whatever Defiance Bay faction supports you to take out the berserkers.

Outside of the battle itself, you can improve your odds by hiring better mercenaries (costs 10k) and killing Captain Emery. Trying to get her to join your cause is pointless as far as the battle goes - she will only do it if you're already winning anyway.

You can take the battle whenever you want though. You can wait until level 12 if you like. The game won't punish you for stalling.

I've never used the WM options - you can certainly win without having every advantage possible.

Besides, WM1 + WM2 equal higher level cap, more loot, more abilities, etc. There are so many ways they can make this battle (and other base game content) easier without involving the scripted options. I wouldn't imply some nefarious P2W scheme here
