Valkyria Chronicles A-Rank Walkthrough: Skirmish 9. East Bank of Vasel, Hard Mode

Skirmish 9, Hard Mode is completed in 2 turns; the enemy leader and all 4 enemy Tank Destroyers are defeated. The last of the Hard Mode skirmishes, this is the final map where tanks and orders can be used. Unsurprisingly, I make extensive use of them here. Turn 1 is just taking down the first Tank Destroyer and positioning the scouts; most of the action goes on in the Turn 2, as the remaining tanks are taken care of and the Imperial Base Camp is seized. Required Turn Count for A-rank: 7 Turn Enemy Leaders: Lancer Elite (1) Enemy Tanks: Tank Destroyers (4) This walkthrough assumes achieving the highest possible rank. (S Rank in JP / A Rank otherwise) eliminating all enemy leaders / aces / tanks when possible. Clear Data (to unlock Hard and Expert Skirmishes), Max Level on all classes, all R&D and royal weapons unlocked. no DLC weapons. reproducible, fairly reliable strats for completion. (Not necessarily going for the lowest possible turn count)
