It's funny that you can project your own failure to properly learn anything on me, but that doesn't make your idiotic opinion less idiotic. You have to deal with the knights. There's no rulebook that says you have to deal with the knights at a certain time. The mechanics are simply presenting you with a choice: deal with the ogres asap but then have to deal with the knights who can steal the light bombs, or let the ogres live longer (and therefore become an actual threat) but not have to deal with the knights till after they can no longer steal the light bombs. Both approaches have advantages. Both have disadvantages. OP is correct in saying that this is akin to the one gaze holder vs two gaze holder strategy on Golgoroth.
