Started with a
spectacular opening move, where the fireteam's sniper completely missed what would have otherwise been a clear headshot, then got rushed and shot down by an enemy shocktrooper, followed by me sending the fireteam's engineer to rescue him
* followed by her immediately getting gunned down(but rescued).
Wasted 2 command points trying to run over an enemy lancer(anti-tank soldier), only to run out of movement
sooo close I couldn't angle the machine gun(I shot his friend in the head), then wasted 2 more finding out that running them over with a tank doesn't (at least, necessarily) kill. It just throws them. On his turn, the lancer stupidly,
stupidly ran right in front of the tank's MG and promptly got his face ventilated.
It turns out the two shocktroopers I brought, Hannes
* and Wendy, are the psychos of the unit. They scored more kills than anyone else during the battle, all while laughing maniacally. Def gonna bring them in future battles.
Although Wendy did hipfire an entire magazine into a bridge railing, then took a not-lethal bullet to the head from the intended target.Valkyria Chronicles. Yet another game sitting in my library for three years, never played once.
EDIT: Killed three tanks in one turn. One was crippled from pretty early in the battle when I sniped a fuel tank it was parked next to. The second, I force-marched a lancer behind it for a direct hit to the radiator(which is usually a one-shot-kill, as the radiator is volatile for plot reasons). The third tank was a one-in-a-million shot, I didn't expect to kill it. Despite a mostly frontal shot, I scored a direct hit on the radiator with my command tank. The radiator was barely visible, and the tank cannon has relatively poor accuracy - enough to hit a target in general, but hitting a specific part of the target requires close range(or luck).
The next battle, I sniped an AT gun with my command tank. Took several shots(and my attempts provoked the boss to appear), and the AT gun nearly killed the second-in-command, but I killed it before it could fire on the command tank. Also during that battle, scored a twofer while assaulting the main base. A scout tried to gank an enemy soldier during a flank, hurt them, but got shot down by him and his buddy. I moved a shocktrooper to perform the same attack, killed the first guy, and took out the second with the last bullet.
