The
train
I crossed the tanktrap bridge in way too many turns. For some reason I thought the mortar didn't work on them, I ended up clearing the way with Largo's lance....which missed a couple times (seriously, lancers suck so, SO bad) and then grenades.
I also got one or two KOs due to the interception fire from the
train
I like you! I like Rosie even more!

Personally, I don't use the Edelweiss as mobile cover. Always used infantry as mobile cover for the radiator instead.
You didn't buy it yet?

haha I am guessing from this it worth £15 notes. The only thing I am wondering is it story based or just battle after battle with this information I will be picking it up
The game is very story based. There's cutscenes before and after every mission.
You have 1-3 cutscenes between each mission, sometimes more. The game is VERY story based.

It's split up into chapters, with each chapter further divided into individual episodes. Episodes can be either cinematic/talking head cutscenes, or battles. There are also other areas for upgrading or customizing your squad, as well as supplemental glossary areas to learn more about the game's lore/setting. Also included is a skirmish mode where you can practice combat for XP and money, useful if you feel rusty or a little behind the campaign's level curve! The game is heavily story-based, with each chapter locked until the previous is complete, but the chapter/episode set-up allows the user to very easily play the way they want.
It's very clever, really. I found it a little confusing at first, but now I think it's a good standard for this these sorts of games. Being able to replay any cinematic or battle is great... and the game even has a new game plus mode.
Sega knocked it out of the park with this one.
..and then proceeded to drive it into the ground.
Completed chapter 9. That has to be the easiest chapter in the game if you know what to do and blatantly ignore the game's advice.
We could do that, or...
Mission Complete.
Then I faced the toughest dilemma of the entire game. Get better guns. Get better armor. Or...
. I'll get those guns later.
"Use the tank to block the road!"
We could do that, or...
Let the car advance one step, just next to a Rosie already in waiting, then...
O R D E R "ROSIE! Defense Boost! Damage Boost! Your turn, shoot the radiator! GO!"
O R D E R "ROSIE! Defense Boost! Damage Boost! Your turn, shoot the radiator! GO!"

Wrong thread?
Also, suppose it wouldn't be long before someone broke that rule and went extreme in breaking it.

Are the sequels that bad? What a bummer.
Too many Dota OT avatars in this thread, I guess? :V

Very. Scouts with damage upgrade orders are far more effective than Lancers most of the time.

To get Lynn to show up;
Lynn is Karl the engineer's lover, so what you have to do is have Karl downed (you can still call the Medic and have him evacted)
(Oscar is his older brother)
It's the lack of ambition on Sega's behalf that really stings. The original VC could of been a springboard to greater refinement of the formula. But instead it got downgraded to the psp to try and cash in on the Monster Hunter craze. More or less killed the franchise in the West with that decision.
Wow, I had no idea. This game, man.
Exactly. It still annoys me 5 years later.

Well I'm hoping some modders get crafty and we have VC2+3 "DLC" chapters eventually with some better refinements of course. o:

Looking at how they forced a 'school setting' in VC2, it was more them taking ques from Persona series.

I switched back to English after a few cutscenes of Japanese.
Though I made a temporary switch back to Japanese to hear the Empire's voices. Man, Maximillian and Selvaria's voices are great stuff.

Which is a real shame since they had a lot of story potential with
the civil war that broke out when their princess revealed her Darcsen heritage
the Federation secretly supporting the rebels in exchange for annexation.
Nah, it's just a Japanese cliche.
Persona is just about the only thing that does it well.
Nope, they should take cue with Gunka no Baltzar in regard to military academy.

Snipers become more and more useful later on too once they get more accurate weapons that make shooting with them less of a crapshoot.
Updated my PS3 button mod, this is probably the final version: http://www.tzarsectus.com/tools/VCPS3buttons.rar
It fixes the button prompts in a couple of screens, and fixes a small artifact with portraits in real-time cutscenes. Anyone upgrading from previous version should revert to non-modified Valkyria.exe before installing the mod.

so chapter 14 was stupid but easily exploitable, chapter 15 just plain sucks
is there any way I can stop Selvaria from soloing my entire squad while I climb the stairs? There's no cover at the top of the stairs and oh she can kill everyone at my fucking start position too. Did I miss something? These gimmicks are getting freaking annoying
Are you playing at 60fps?
(Sorry, it had to be asked)
Better answer: Edelweiss smokes helps a little, although knowing in advance that you can only
, will probably save you a lot of trial-and-error aggravation towards the end. Solution spoiler:

hit Selvaria from directly behind - she dodges otherwise
Meaning getting a scout behind her to attract attention and turn her around, then shooting her in the head from the starting position with a sniper or lancer (lol) is pretty much the goal you want to aim for
yeah, I guess that makes it bit harder. Though it only affects the fire rate while intercepting, right?
that's something worth trying, although I can't even reach the other camps

Mid chapter 8 now, and most of that has been today - forgot how much I enjoyed this game due to how many years I've gone without playing it.
Chapter 7 was great to replay knowing exactly what was going to happen (even if my last playthrough was a second run through with everyone leveled to max), plus Selvaria seems very sensitive to where you place your tank as she'll just sort of stand by herself while your lancers fuck up the Batomys.
Ah, Jann.

Ah, Jann.
I dropped a smoke bomb on her every turn, and it kept my units alive until was ready to take her on. Once you capture the camps on the lower left and right, your units should be safe from her until you're ready to attack.
As you noted,
Selvaria already murders from the starting position when you're simply just RUNNING FOR COVER LOL. (You can drive the Edelweiss forward and shoot a smoke at the wall below her though)
that's actually not really an issue since I use my tanks to cover the area leading up to the stairs on each side. She kills my guys at the base camp during the enemy turn before they have even moved
my problem is that once I get to the top of the stairs there's no way to hide from her. And then there's also the snipers that shoot at me while I can't fire back because of the level geometry. I forgot about the smoke grenades, though.

I'm guessing the WTF over ex-hard skirmishes is coming soon.
You can't use any tank. Welkin is always on foot.
You can't use orders.
Mission objectives are either kill all enemies or move Welkin to a heavily guarded destination.
New Md Tank+ with 2000 range machine guns that can hit almost anywhere on the map.
On Edy's Squad Challenge maps you usually don't get a tank, which also means no orders.

Yea shit is hard as stink. Not even worth it for me as it's clear that's going to be a huge headache.

Well, there's the really cheap way to take her out from within the smoke screen...
Snipers. Snipers everywhere.
I can't wait for somebody to make a map editor for this game.

Yep, started it up, saw the map, reloaded to menu. I'll wait to have level 20 lancers in NG+.
Also Alicia + Awaken Potential in NG+ is so op I'm doing almost every skirmishes in easy and normal in 1 or 2 turns top (fouzen normal in 1 turn, wth).
You still need her to be facing in the other direction
literally sonic the hedgehog
You didn't even see the bullshit part. You know how there are three bases, each base spawns two adds per turn if you don't capture them. At one point I literally had close to twenty adds on the map.

No need, at least on the PS3 version. Four different snipers, first turn, game over.
As cheap as it was, part of why I enjoyed the back half of the game so much is that I felt like the game was asking me to think outside the box. Sure, you could abuse orders and scouts, but usually there was some even crazier way to get an A rank if you started trying ridiculous stuff.
Oh wow did not know. Didn't really use Karl much though I did have him in my squad for a short period of time. I always like to keep my engineers safe
except for that time in the battle of Naggiar where I had Claudia take point for some reason and she got stomped by some shocktroopers. RIP and sorry
