A Captainless Squad

Victory Conditions

• 4 Infantry units reach the target

• All allied infantry fall in action
• 20 turns pass.
• Any allied foot soldier is killed

For this mission, you will be using the same units you have from the previous mission. If any of the scouts can be promoted to a leader unit (i.e. Azusa, Rosetta) it will be extremely helpful for this mission.

Equipping a Lancer or Shocktrooper unit with high defense accessory for the unit to act as bait can make this mission really easy.

The objective of this mission is to bring 4 people to the southeast corner of the map. This task isn't that difficult, the biggest obstacle would be actually trying to kill the enemy ace located at the northeast corner of the map. Due to the area loaded with a ton of enemy units on the northeast corner of the map, it's pretty hard to get there safely.

Turn 1

Start the mission with your leader scout and bring two other units if you have "Direct Command", a shocktrooper or a lancer. A sniper can work too, if Neige is equipped with an anti-tank sniper rifle. Proceed to the bottom side of the map, there is a tank located there and a shocktrooper. Head for the tank first and destroy it, then have your scout or your shocktrooper kill the enemy shocktrooper from behind. Use your CP to kill the scout placed on the south side of the plateau, and any enemy forces near the eastern plateau; this area can be used as cover from Crymaria. Have the rest of your assault team hide here.

Now on the main base, have Connor aim for the enemy grenadier on the east side of the map. Once the grenadier is dead, have Connor retreat. You should also leave one person at your base. This is bait unit, recommended for someone with fairly high defense. Either your lancer unit or one of shocktroopers. Then send your engineer unit north, there will be an enemy shocktrooper hiding in the northwest corner of the map. Kill this shocktrooper. Have your second scout head to the bottom side of the map along with the rest of your team.

During the enemy phase, Crymaria will be targeting whoever that is stationed at your base camp. This diversion allows the assault forces on the south side of the map to get through and kill the enemy forces there. You will need to be careful here, as there are enemy shocktroopers nearby, you can either use your scout to kill them from behind, or have your shocktrooper kill them.

Turn 2

If you want to complete the mission right now, then try to have all four assault units move to the destination area east of the plateau.

If you're after the ace unit, have the engineer on the northwest side of the map move towards the northeast side of the map. Killing the ace will drop the ZM MP XD(e), machine gun. Then have the rest of your team return back to the destination area to complete the mission.

Victory Conditions

• 20 turns pass.

On this mission, you will be fighting Claude and his teammates with Zaiga's group of friends. This mission takes place in the exact same location as the Moutainous Retreat battle from Chapter 7.

Due to the large scale of this map, you are given 7 turns to get an A rank. Deploy half of the units you need, as you will need to deploy them from other camps you will capture. If Azusa or Rosetta has been promoted to a leader it will be ideal for this map. If you don't have any of them promoted to leader, then you will need to play to play this mission at a slower pace and have your lower AP units deploy from the later camps.

Turn 1

Start with using the Leader scout and use Direct Command to bring a shocktrooper. Head to the west side of the map, there is a path covered completely in snow, look for the Ragna-Crate on the edge of it, destroy the crate to remove the snow. Follow the path until you find a ladder it will take to the southwest side of the map.

Now switch to Connor and have him blow up the enemies hiding on the southeast corner. Then once you're done, have him retreat back to base. Then switch to the shocktrooper you brought, and have clear the shocktrooper at the nearby camp. Then use the same shocktrooper to capture the camp. If the shocktrooper is still alive in the corner, you can blow up the nearby Ragna-crate to take care of that.

Use the newly captured camp to deploy another shocktrooper. Then bring the leader scout to the new camp location, you will find there a Ragna-crate on the path south, shoot the crate to remove the pile of snow. End your turn.

Turn 2

When you regain your turn, the shocktrooper you have should go to the east side of the map. There he will find a shocktrooper and the path will eventually lead to Raz. You can easily take care of Raz by shooting him in the back of the head. Now switch to the Leader Scout and have her use Direct Command to bring the shocktooper with her, then go down the same path where Raz was and pick up your other shocktrooper, you should run out of AP as you make it near the next camp. Use the trooper that is low on AP to capture the nearby camp. Then switch to the trooper will full AP and head to the west side of the map. This trooper will be a target for Riley. Take the small passage on the center, once you get through that, you will end up on the camp where Minerva and Riley is. Use this shocktrooper to capture the camp. Then use this camp to deploy Hanna.

Turn 3

On the next turn, you Kai should show up to hit the scout that is camping on the second base you have captured. Once you have survived the enemy phase. You can use the Hanna to destroy the pile of snow on the southwest corner, she will eventually find a ladder that will her to path behind the Hafen. Destroy the Hafen. Now with the remaining CP to spare, you can try to use Hanna to capture the camp if you can take out the enemy shocktrooper here. If not then you can use the leader scout to bring a shocktrooper with her and then have the shocktrooper capture the last base to complete the mission.
