Grenadiers rule so hard that they had to invent a new class of tank just to keep lancers relevant.

It does serve as a nice introduction to Walz. It perfectly sets the tone for all your encounters with him.

I haven't managed it yet. Grenadiers with Elias mortars are still handy for their AP-draining intercept fire, or body kills if you've got the CP to spare.

By the way, it is possible for grenadiers to get radiator killshots on tanks. That mission was the first time I managed it.

also they've made it pretty obvious what the Centurion's restricted area is really for :smith:

I thought somebody posted somewhere how to unlock the various squad stories, but I'm not finding it in the last few pages. Anyone know where that was?

You need to have the right group of three soldiers on your roster, get far enough in the campaign, and promote one of the three to Corporal by spending 20 CP on them (or 40 CP in skirmishes). Here's the whole list of squad story groups, and the earliest you can unlock them:

Chapter 3: Godwin/Rosetta/Nico, Jester/Teresa/Connor, Fleuret/Rebecca/Mabel(requires 3 other squad stories completed), Curtis/Laurent/Eileen(requires Curtis to be KO'd and rescued once), Emmy/Viola/Simon(requires 5 medals)
Chapter 4: Stanley/Ferrier/Jean, Dan/Aulard
Chapter 5: Odin/Lily/Jimmy, Zaiga/Vancey/Gertrude(requires 1,000,000 DCT on hand)
Chapter 6: Millennia/Brittany/Rita
Chapter 8: Ronald/Ryan/Keigel, Aladdin/Leonhardt/Neige
Chapter 9: Hanna/Jascha/Aoife, Azusa/Scott/Norid

There are three others for characters you can only get after beating the game.

Man, the mission in chapter 6 is a doozy and my first outright failure. It feels like I'd have to way overcommit resources to taking out Walz' tank, but if I don't take out at least his gatling gun he can run over everything even easier. The mortar support order makes putting too many defenders on a camp a bad idea, but it feels like that many are needed to deal with all the reinforcements. I am guessing I need to keep the Hafen in the mid field and maybe spawn a bunch of lancers on the top camp once part 2 starts since I guess Walz hits there first. Can a lancer in the tower up there hit his weak point? AT grenadiers seem unable to, though maybe I'm just unlucky on that.

Edit: Reading back, it appears the lancers in towers is indeed the thing to do.

I just used two AT grenadiers with Demolition Boost and an engineer to wear him down, since it seemed like nothing would deal serious damage to him. Killing the Vulcan will also stop the reinforcements so it's not overkill as long as you take him out quick.

Post game spoilers There is some difference. You need the high level gear so that you can peel as many turrets from the supper tank as possible with the minimum amount of turn expenditure or else the apc will be shredded by just the anti infantry turrets. Also is their anyway to get back Raz as a usable unit or is he gone forever?

Once you've beaten the campaign, clear the hard skirmish "Beneath the Frost" and you should get an extra scene in Chapter 13. Then Raz will show up on the Cenotaph.

Nah, I did the exact same thing i did first go with one modification immediately.

claude takes the lead and takes out the mortars with the cannon(the only difference) then him and Dan tag team their way across the map to get Dan over by riley's exit point and kill off the Lancers. run riley to the objective and then dump the grenadiers behind an ice rock. turn 2 buff up one of them and 1 hit the boss across the water.

:ssh: you don't even need to get Riley to the objective, you win the mission when the boss dies so you can just use your first phase to set up for the kill

VC4 is a few bucks off on Steam this week, and the original is only $8 if you want to see how we suffered back in my day when tanks cost 2 CPs, uphill, in the snow, both ways.

Another piece of DLC is out too--A Captainless Squad.

The Glory is good on maps like Chapters 13 and 14, where your objectives are fairly close or only accessible on foot but you've got an absolute shitload of tanks and sentry guns in the way.

The things I never found a use for were the alternate turrets.
