HeyBeerMan-
Thanks for looking into this for me. Yes, I have revived after selling a bunch of reapers (shedding a tear or two). Basically I was housed up near a lvl 10 widow and raiding them constantly, like 10-15 orders at a time...so I was actually using most of the troops (probably didn't need all of them there). I kept all my widows, reapers and such in a city protected from rogue phoenix members. Sad when you have to do this to protect yourself from your own faction!
When someone is rolling through blindly with 700 million bw, there is little you can do I suppose.
