1. {Introduction}_________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------------
Front mission 3 is one of the most fantastic games ever created, infact the
whole series reeks of sheer genius. For me as a fan of the series, there
couldn't be a more perfect formula in terms of the depth of everything in this
game such as the characters which are amazing, the wanzer design is perfect.
Whats a wanzer? oh sorry let me explain, a wanzer is a combat unit with
movement like a human being & looks kinda like the mechs in gundam wing. Let me
stress that if you don't like robots in games you will be hooked after playing
this game, anyway back to the point. The story is set in 2112 & takes place all
over the world but starts in Okinawa, Japan where a young man named Kazuki
Takemura is begining a training session as he is a wanzer test pilot later he
meets his old friend Ryogo Kusama who is also a test pilot for the company
known as the JDF, (I won't explain everything because you will see for yourself
as you are playing the game) so Kazuki & Ryogo recieve orders to deliver some
wanzer robots to a nearby JDF base & thats when all the trouble began with an
explosion they witness & the creation of the MIDAS bomb. Ok, ok, so the story
is really hi-tech & requires some thinking but it will become much eaiser to
understand as you get in to it. I guess that about wraps the introduction up
phew! I hope the layout of this walkthrough is easy for you to follow

3. {Equipment & setting up}_______________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right lets get to the punch, when equiping weapons & backpacks (you need
backpacks to carry healing or reloading items) you can't go past the set weight
limit of that wanzer so always check the weapons weight in shops before you buy.
The set up feature allows you to alter your wanzers parts for example if you
want to change the arms for better ones with higher hp you could do that in set
up but remember about weight limits, you can also name your wanzer & change
it's colour which is useful so you know who your guys are(try to keep the
colours separate from the enemy otherwise you can get confused about who you're
players are. When you equip a backpack on your wanzer you can carry items but
only as many as the red lines will allow as this is the capacity of the
backpack, confusing? After you've played a couple of times you won't believe
how easy it is.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. {Weapon classes & leveling up}_________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The amount of damage your weapons do depend on the weapon class & it starts at
A(amature) & S(supreme) is the best class, baisicly a wanzer is composed of
several parts. Body, left arm,right arm, left leg, right leg, & the pilot if
the body is put down to 0 hp then the wanzer is imediatly destroyed. If one of
the arms goes then you can no longer use the weapon set to that arm & if both
arms go you can't do nothing but move around. If the legs are destroyed you can
only move one square at a time opposed to many if you have the wanzers legs
intact,& if the pilot goes then that person dies & the wanzer will become
neutral until someone gets inside it. These parameters effect you & the enemy
so try to use them to your advantage, this is where leveling up your weapons
comes in because you get expirience on your weapon for each enemy part you
destroy & when the weapon bar becomes full you're weapon will level up making
it's class go up therefore making it stronger. it is very important to level up
your currently equiped wepons so you can deal more damage. All weapons start at
A class & after one level up it will go to A class with one star, then
two star, & finally three stars. After three stars the letter of the class will
go up, example- A*** class (three star)- machine gun would become B class
machine gun & so on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. {Battle skills}_____________________________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not only can wanzers wield heavy artilery but they can also use battle skills
which can aid your attack on an enemy unit, you can equip battle skills of
course you have to learn them first by using various weapons or fulfilling
certain critiria on that wanzer, you can only equip so many battle skills in
the wanzers computer & it works like the back-pack where the green lines show
whats equiped & red show empty slots. when you learn a battle skill you can
equip it straight away if you're computer has enough slots left, once you learn
a battle skill a screen will come up & to equip the skill you just have to move
it over to the small slots on the right. Battle skills occur randomly but you
can increase the likelyhood of activating one by equiping the same skill in the
wanzer computer if you learn it again, this also would make it possible to do
the same battle skill twice in a row or three times etc. At the start of the
game only you're players can use battle skills but on later missions enemys can
use them too & they can be nasty ones too, but if you come preapared you won't
have to fear unless the enemy pulls out a battle skill, likewise you should try
the same.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. {Medals}_______________________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Medals mark how well you perform in battle & range from bronze to platinum, you
gain a platinum medal if you don't take much damage & destroy all enemy wanzers
etc. this is just optional to show your skill with wanzers & gaining every
platinum medal will not gain you anything, apart from the money you win after a
battle will increase.Got all that? I hope so, after playing a few times it
really is very easy it's just getting the hang of things. Let's begin then
shall we?!
(I've only explained the very basic actions but there are many tutorials in the
game so watch them.)

7. {The Walkthrough} (Alisa's story)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okinawa-Ocean city_____________________________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you view the opening you will awake in Kirashima industrys, you will then
be asked to name your character(note: this guide refers to the default name)
after that it's time for action! You now begin a training session, it's very
simple here just follow the scientists instructions until you reach the
destination point. Along the way you will be told about AP & how to move your
wanzer. When you do reach the destination point it's time to use your artilery!
In this first battle you don't have to worry about being attacked so use the
shotgun or press square to switch to a melee weapon (note:For melee class
weapons you must be next to your enemy as it isn't ranged like a shotgun, due
to it's lack of range it has awsome destructive power) & destroy the practise
wanzer. After doing this, a JDF pilot will throw down a challenge for you to
try & beat an actual fighting wanzer. When battle commences just use your
shotgun several times to bring the fight to a close, (I don't think it will
matter wether you lose or not as it's only practise but I've never lost, you
should be able to get a platinum medal here easy.) After the battle(save if you
like) you will talk with the JDF pilot & the scientist who is introduced as Dr.
Koike, all of a sudden an old friend of Kazuki's drops by with some deliverys.
Kazuki & Ryogo talk then Dr.Koike will give Ryogo a job to do, talk to Ryogo &
he will ask you something & now you are faced with who's story you will do
depending on your answer you will either do Emma's story or Alisa's story.
Seeing as this guide is written for Alisa's story choose not to go with Ryogo
(Ryogo will still join your team as he joins in both storys regardless of your
choice) & you will now be playing Alisa's story from here on. Now from the
command menu select move & go to the dormitory to continue or go to the wanzer
test site to learn some game basics. Anyway, Kazuki will go to the dormitory &
he will find he has an E-mail from Alisa asking how he's doing so Kazuki
decides to go buy her a sovenier. From the move command select the only option
avalible "Shopping mall", at the shopping mall you run in to Ryogo again after
the talk go to move to leave the area & head to the JDF Facility. After some
talking you will find out Ryogo will be coming with you to deliver some wanzers
to a JDF base, as soon as you regain control select move & go to the heliport,
you now travel to Yokosuka.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yokosuka_______________________________________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch the scenes to witness an explosion on the base, Kazuki realises Alisa is
working in the base & rushes towards it only to be stopped by JDF soldiers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers:Wanzer pilot JDF + 2 - Enemy battle skills: none Enemy weapon class:A
Battle rating- *Easy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is your first real fight, you will have both Kazuki & Ryogo in Shunyo
mk111 wanzers, Kazuki will be exactly the same as when you used him in
practise. As for Ryogo, he is equiped with quite a decent machine gun &
hardblow which won't do much at all, try to let Kazuki deal with one & Ryogo
the other as you want them both to get weapon exp, it's highly doubtful you
will learn any battle skills as you won't be keeping these wanzers as they are
strong & would prove easy to walk all over enemy units, don't get attached to
these wanzers as this will be the last time you use these. Overall this is
quite easy compared to the first real battle in Emma's story. Before you have
chance to completly destroy these goons the battle will end.
Watch the scenes & wave goodbye to those good Shunyo mk111's as you are
arrested & thrown in prison, bah I never did like prison food anyway not that
I've tried it of course, at the Inter mission Save & you can begin your
sentance. Anyway after a talk with the prison guard Kazuki's dad Isao gets you
out of jail & he will tell you Alisa is safe & dismiss you so go to move &
leave the base. You will also see a scene between Sasaki & Kuroi. After some
more scenes you will be in for a fight with USN special forces & you will be in
a new wanzer!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers:Gastor, Emma, Cindy, Joe, Enemy battle skills: None
Enemy weapon class:A Battle rating:*Easy+
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S.N. fight 1
You shouldn't worry too much about winning just don't let Alisa die, & after a
while the fight will be brought to a close & you will be saved by a man who
introduces himself as Liu. When you arrive at the Yokosuka hanger talk to Liu &
he will talk about making alterations to your wanzer to travel across the sea
to escape the JDF don't worry this is done for you but be warned, don't stay as
a hover wanzer for a long time as later you won't be able to use boost if you
are in a hover wanzer but it can eaisley be reversed by changing your wanzers
legs back to proper ones, but for now you will have to like & lump your wanzer
as Liu would put it. After you've finished here you will see a scene at the
docks & it's time for a showdown!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Wanzer pilot JDF + 4 Enemy battle skills:None Enemy weapon class:A
Battle rating:*Medium
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this fight you will have Kazuki, Ryogo, Alisa & Liu. Alisa is equiped with a
rocket launcher that has limited ammo( you can reload it by using the missile
item & you have one spare for this battle so use it well) so you might wanna
save those missiles for an emergency, while Liu is equiped with a rifle which
will come in useful. The rifle has unlimited ammo & does decent damage when it
hits that is but for now you can't do anything about the accuracy of Liu's
rifle. You should learn some battle skills here like Tackle for Kazuki, Panic
shot for Alisa, & possibly Rofup1 for Ryogo.
Bear in mind these occur randomly so it's about luck. Start the battle by
ganging up on a wanzer & you may even capture it which gives you the enemys
wanzer at the end of battle so you can take parts off & move them around to
your wanzer to learn new battle skills & get more Hp etc. Don't take one wanzer
on for each person just have all your team attack one wanzer at a time. If you
need to heal your wanzers use some items which by default you now have but you
don't have much repair kits so only use them when you need them & try not to
let key body parts equipped with weapons to be destroyed otherwise you won't be
able to attack. Work as a team & take the JDF pilots down one by one spreading
out at this stage in the game isn't really an option as you don't want anyone
dying in battle giving you a major disadvantage. If you are really lucky here
you could pick up the double assault battle skill for kazuki which uses both
melee & any other gun together for a 2 hit combo! After this battle there will
be an inter mission as always so save your game here or visit the network
(there really isn't much to visit the network for at the moment)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miharu-cho, Yokosuka garage______________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a scene with all yor current party & Liu will explain he is from
DHZ army (Da hang zong) when you get chance talk to Liu & he will continue to
talk about the 'accident' at the JDF base & you will discover that the USN want
their hands on MIDAS the new type of bomb that you saw cause the accident at
the JDF base. once again after this talk to Liu & he will say the DHZ are here
in Yokosuka to destroy MIDAS after this talk to Ryogo then Liu again & he will
tell you he is leaving Japan. At this point Liu will join you & he will help
you escape the JDF, after this Liu & Alisa will teach you about set-up if you
are a novice or you are new to the game read through this very carefully.
whether you know how to set up or not you will still have to go through the
tutorial so just wizz through it if you know your Zenislev from your Shunyo.
it's up to you how you set up your wanzers at this point but for now if you
want a good advantage I would keep things as they are, once this is done make
sure you always remember to resupply your backpack after every battle if it is
required. Now before you continue I highly reccomend you set each member of
your team a specific colour for their wanzer so you don't get confused with who
is who & you can also name their machine if you like by going to setup
selecting someone by pressing X & then by pressing X again on setup then go to
body setting to adjust the name & colour of your selected character's wanzer.
when you are ready it's time to hit the road & pretty quick I might say, oh &
by the way you have some new features in network (shop) where at the minute you
can only buy items such as repair & simulator(indepth explanation later) where
you can train your wanzers to learn battle skills & upgrade your weapon classes
which you might want to do for everybody as the next few battles are going to
be almost hell! train everyone's weapon class to- A three stars then save &
when you are ready it's time to high tail it! select move & go out to leave in
the truck Liu prepared. There will be a scene with Isao after you leave.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power plant_______________________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be found by the JDF & a fight will ensue. Be ready for a brute
struggle, but don't worry having Liu's rifle should be of great help...
that is when it hits...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers:Wanzer pilot JDF +3 Enemy battle skills-none Enemy weapon class-A
Battle rating- *Medium+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will start this battle against three choppers & they can be a pain in the
neck at this stage so use the missiles to take care of them, hopefully you
still have some stored in Alisa's backpack or you should have bought some &
equiped them in your backpack. By turn 3 thats when problems can arise because
backup will arrive, the problem is they will try to sandwich your team members
off so stick together & take the enemy wanzers out one by one as before, repair
kits may be required for use. after this little scuffle you may have captured a
few wanzers even if you have two of the same one's keep them for now you can
sell them later if you need to(it's worth keeping one to learn the battle skill
rofup2). Anyway ONWARD! At the inter-mission save & either train in simulator
or setup your wanzer also check your mail he he he. after this exit the inter-
mission. Now once again it's showdown time!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Wanzer pilot JDF +3, Kuroi, tank pilot +2 Enemy battle skills- Kuroi:
Zoom I Enemy weapon class:A Battle rating-*Normal+
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are clearly outnumbered here as if that isn't obvious but to add a slight
amount of difficulty Kuroi has a battle skill similar to the ones your wanzers
have been learning. Zoom I is mainly for accuracy & it isn't a real threat but
it's still best to be on your guard with at least Kuroi. Also by now you should
be making it a rule to check the enemys stats so you know what to be ready for
in the way of battleskills & the like, do this by placing the cursor over them
then press X for a display. Now first take care of Kuroi with Kazuki, Ryogo &
Liu, only have Alisa provide support fire by missiles if you are in danger,
after Kuroi goes down pay immediate attention to the JDF rocket wanzer pilot &
now take him down to avoid hasstle make full use of Alisa's missiles & Liu's
rifle as both have the long range effect but the accuracy won't be great at the
minute so grit your teeth for now meanwhile have Kazuki & Ryogo upfront to
cause major damage at close range. Make it top priority to eliminate or capture
(if you can) all enemy wanzers first the small fry tanks can be destroyed after
hopefully, you won't be presented with a struggle as soon as "backup" arrives
the area is bombed & you escape under Liu's orders.
After this save at the inter-mission & we are ready to rock!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DHZ submarine______________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ha, ha Ryogo is full of energy & Kazuki scolds him for his foolishness, Alisa
agrees with her brother & Liu will converse about the situation & you are taken
to your room how nice! when you can talk to Alisa then talk with Liu. Liu
leaves your party to rest so now select move & go to the bridge to hear a
dispatch after talk to Liu who will explain the ordeal you are facing. things
look grim... talk to Alisa to hear a genius plan to solve the problem.
Now we put it in to action!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hatano digi-com base_______________________________________
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we pull up in the lorry for some infultration & Alisa & Liu take front
wing, oh damn the base is on red alert. Wanzer action here we go!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Tank pilot + 4, Wanzer pilot JDF enemy Enemy battle skills: None
Enemy weapon class:A Battle rating-* Easy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't worry about your two Sekida trucks here it's not even armed anyway but it
still appears as a unit so take that to mind, saying this though you don't have
to protect it & you can still win should they be destroyed.
After the aftermath Liu says you are being followed so lets haul butt outta
here, time for intermission so save & lets train Liu up a bit with
the simulator. Oh before I forget change your wanzers legs back instead of
havinghover parts because this will make life a lot eaiser for me & you! give
Kazuki Zenislev legs, Ryogo Kyojun Mk107 legs, Liu Jinyo Mk110 legs (if you
have them) & finally Alisa should get Meledyne M1 legs. Keep the Hover parts as
we can sell or use them later. That done? Great then lets move on shall we?
Your advance along the road is halted by a police checkpoint, oh great! good
old Liu to the rescue well sort of... just when we were getting cosy things
turn sour & yet again we are surrounded by the damn JDF! Liu gets the wanzers
ready & it looks like we are backing sides with the young female police officer
in this fight, here we go!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aircraft: JDF chopper +5 Enemy battle skills: None Enemy weapon class:A
Battle rating-*Normal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from Liu Ryogo & Alisa you also have Miho the female police officer on
your side, try to protect her & she will in return deal damage to the enemy if
her wanzer is destroyed then don't worry you won't lose however to make this
fight easy you need all the help you can get. Alisa should use her missiles
while Liu can aim longrange as before. Miho will attack at random so aid her
with support fire with Ryogo & Kazuki on the closest chopper & take it from
there. Try to take out the choppers as quickly as you can as they pose a big
threat.
After the battle you will talk with Miho now save at the intermission shortly
after.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashigara/ rest area_____________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we take a break with Miho who also knows of the MIDAS bomb & she says
that's why the JDF attacked her, looks like we have been framed by the JDF too!
anyway we will get those chumps yet, talk to Miho who wants to come with your
group but Liu has his objections. Talk to Liu & Kazuki will tell Liu that Miho
is coming with the group for her protection, Liu agrees & it's off we go. Miho
now joins your group!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Numazu Harbour___________________________________________
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No rest for the wicked eh? the escape plan backfires & we gotta fight would you
believe the JDF!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers:Wanzer pilot JDF+2 JDF chopper+3 JDF tank pilot Enemy battle skills:
Enemy weapon class- A* Battle rating-*Normal+
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick a team of four from your characters I'd reccomend for now you use your
default team & let Miho sit this one out because her shotgun isn't too great,
Take down those choppers they will cause you much frustration & more to the
point they are in the way!
Well now thats over & done with it's time to meet our friends eh? save & train
little Miho a bit as well as change her parts & colour to your liking.also
check your e-mail. after the intermission there is a scene between Kuroi &
Sasaki.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DHZ submarine______________________________________________
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can have fun attempting to talk to Liu or you can do as he says & go to
your room which is the crew room. Talk to Miho & you will rest the night. Alisa
has a dream actually more of a memory & is woken by Miho, Kasuki is on the
bridge so make your way there too. on to the Philippines we go! Say goodbye to
Japan for now....
********THIS CONCLUDES THE JAPAN CHAPTER********
_______________________________________________________________________________
--------------------------------------------------------
Davao-Philippines/ rebel headquaters_______________________
--------------------------------------------------------
Liu will explain everything & then when you are ready talk to the commander
Bamarm twice then move to your new crew room quarters, here you can talk with
all your team so do so. Now when you are ready, move to go out in to the city
of Davao it's time we did some real shopping! visit the bar while you are at it
to get a new website adress by talking to the business women (this is
automaticly added & you won't be notified so keep this in mind when you
converse with other people in future) Leave the bar & go to the city & enter
Davao shop. Whoops! did we come at a bad time? When the oppurtunity presents
itself talk to the snotty girl after the event, watch the tutorial on
purchasing & upgrades this will be very important to improve your wanzers HP,
accuracy, etc so take note if you are a novice player! Right now down to
business! select buy & choose a character & their wanzer now select what area
such as weapon you want to change on the wanzer upgrade Kazuki's shotgun on the
right hand to SPPG 14 & on the left hand upgrade his melee weapon to fear fist
you may do as you please but this is a good setup to take either way get better
weapons or parts here for the characters that need them especially Miho who you
should give a better melee weapon & either a better shotgun like Kazuki's
reccomendation or give her a machine gun like Ryogo the choice is yours. Make
sure that before you leave the shop you also upgrade everyone's wanzers as much
as possible & any parts you want upgrading hp & accuracy wise too this
DEFINATLY applies to Liu & Alisa who's accuracy could be better anyway make
sure you are fully prepared before you go, also don't bother upgrading all your
parts that you have in stock because you waste more money pay direct attention
to your current wanzers status. Below I'll list what you can buy here so you
have a good idea of your options & how much each item & weapon costs. (note: if
you need more money use simulator training to gain 300- 600 in prize money if
you complete the training.) One last thing make sure you buy & equip backpacks
to wanzers you want to carry items!

Phew! Well when you are done here Leave the shop & head back to the Rebels
base, (now when you visit shops all the items & parts they sell are added to
the network & you can buy them at intermissions via network or where ever you
are! exept for in a battle of course) check your e-mail then you will discuss
your next mission with Liu, talk to Liu to listen to his plan. Well well the
girl you met in the shop shows up for what seems like idle banter part 2, ok
talk to Pham then to Bamarm to get their website & password BEFREE. Finally
talk to Liu to get going, your next destination is then set you are going to
Panay.

Well we crash the plane & it looks like we have company well at least it isn't

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you select your characters be sure to allot AP in to the slots so you can
take full advantage seeing as you just upgraded your wanzers, make sure you
have at least 14 AP to move around with you can check this by viewing how much
max AP the character has which is displayed for you so make sure you have at
least 14 or the very least 13 AP to conduct your moves. Also once you allot AP
to your defence you can change the damage your wanzer is resistant to by
pressing R1 or L1 when you select defence so select Anti-P (penetration) for
this fight, also take in to account that if you are ejected from your wanzer or
get out of it you will have to re-allot the AP again which isn't at all hard
so be aware. Now let's begin, take the wanzers out one by one but try to get
rid of the launcher wanzers first cause those rockets can hurt! Liu & Alisa
have the longest range (provided you gave Alisa a rocket launcher & Liu kept a
rifle weapon) & don't need to move far so use this to your advantage choose two
other people either Kazuki & Ryogo or Miho to attack & pick off the nearby
targets. this isn't a tough battle as long as you got equipped back in Davao
store.
If you have captured any wanzers here sell 'em we can get these wanzers later,
well their parts anyway. Save at intermission & you are done here. Lets moisey
on.

If you exeeded nine turns in the previous battle there will be more enemies

The less of the gun turrets mounted on the platforms you have to deal with the
better take them out & finish the wanzers only after you take at least two of
the three gun turrets out. bring missiles for Alisa so she can deal major
damage to them. The first Wanzers you should take out should be the one's with
the rocket launchers then eliminate the rest. On the plus side if there are
more enemies you will get more money so it isn't all bad. Use anti-P defence
for this battle.
After the battle it's time to blow the place to smitherines ha, ha, that will
teach em! Save, restock your items & train if you like then it's time to press
on our assault wanzer style!

A few simple enemys & 3 crap setup wanzers, no problem right? If there is
anything to watch out for it's only the three gun turrets & that's nothing a
couple of missiles can't take care of, the turrets do have rather long reach so
don't get within their range, if you do simply move out of it as they can't
move around like the other units here.
Well that was a piece of cake, Anyway HQ is doing bad on there side or so Liu
informs the group so we have to go meet up with them, Save then catch up on
your e-mail & away we go again!

Take out the main gun turrets by missile before they can cause any havock to
you, watch out for the main wanzers because some are equiped with a fear fist
that can cause heavy damage so use the battle skill Fast attack if you have
learned it it should activate so you don't recieve a counter attack. make
absolutly sure you bring repair kits & other aid items missiles etc to avoid
defeat. Also take out the damn pilot who likes to aid Manaro in the missile
frenzy otherwise you may lose more than just an arm or some legs! once the
major threats are out of the way (rocket launcher wanzers!) take down Manaro,
who won't be able to lay a finger on you at close range because the only
counter you can expect to recieve is a pitful hardblow! If you are having
difficulty give some wanzers a shield which can be bought from the network shop.
Phew! Glad that's over & done with, Save & continue

Pham is eager to join the squad now so talk to her then talk to Liu, looks like
we have to split our forces in two this time & uh... yes Pierre is coming too
well time to set sail!

Watch the following scene that follows up with a battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: -- Enemy battle skills -- Enemy weapon class -- Battle rating*Normal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this battle you have to have Kazuki, Ryogo, Alisa & Miho so hopefully they
are all prepared. Right about this battle, the enemy don't even start in
wanzers so if you can kill them before they reach a wanzer this will be very
very easy indeed. Should a soldier board a wanzer it will be equiped with quite
a high calibur shield so try not to let it happen. This isn't hard & you will
most likley get a platinum medal here.
Save at Intermission & especially make sure Liu is prepared before going on to
the next mission! Also Pham has joined your squad now so give her another
weapon besides her cleave axe such as a machine gun also Pham's wanzer Zeros is
quite stong too but put repair kits in her backpack too in any case make
effective preparation then proceed with the game.
Meanwhile on Liu's side we are a little off our target but just as we are gonna
go further we are ambushed, oh yeah like we didn't expect that!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Wanzer pilot PHF+3 Enemy battle skills:None

Here you have Pham, Liu, & Pierre. Pierre is NPC & will attack automaticly when
& who he wants, he has a rocket launcher & a shotgun so he won't be completly
useless to you, you need to move on to the lift & I suggest you move both Liu &
Pham to it first & end their turns so you can then press the switch to make
the cargo lift go up. Move at least one square off from the cargo lift with
both Liu & Pham so you don't go back down on the lift again now take out the
lone wanzer at the top, once you have done this you now need to blow down the
red shutter with any weapon where there is a lone soldier armed with a grenade </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
launcher take him out & then smash down the next shutter on your next turn move
over to take out the second wanzer, Don't worry about getting Pierre up on the
lift as you can take care of these wanzers with just Pham & Liu provided they
have good equipment. Liu will directly benefit from a shield if you can manage
it to reduce the damage he takes but you don't have to keep it just using it
for the remainder of the operation would be a good idea to save on repairing
his wanzer's parts all too often. Once you have destroyed the second wanzer
walk over to the blue light then have Liu step on the lift or snipe from the
top of the platform of the last remaining wanzer & after it's destroyed you
win.
Liu makes contact with Kazuki then Save at intermission, Now we head for the
flight deck & are back with Kazuki's squad.
-------------------------------------------------------
Flight Deck

Face to face with the enemy! Kazuki's team gets ready for battle with no

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch out! two of the wanzers here have rifles that have long range they are
also anti- impact defence which means shotguns & melee weapons won't be as
effective against them, have Alisa take care of the two choppers while the
others eliminate the wanzers on the ground. The one soldier can be left till
the very end of this battle so pay him no mind. Once the two wanzers lose their
rifles they are entirley helpless so you can then pick them off with ease.
After the battle check out the cool music! you will be hearing a lot of it
later, now let's move & we are once again back with Liu's squad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: WZR pilot PHF+3 Battle skill: none Enemy weapon class:A**

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take out the wanzer & the soldier straight ahead then activate the lift to go
up, this lift can only hold one person at a time so if Pierre gets on let him
go up to do battle then send either Liu or Pham up to assist him. If Pierre
takes on too much damage aid him with a repair kit because he deals pretty high
damage & is worth keeping alive at that. That's all really & Platinum medal is
guaranteed here unless you completly mess up.
The bombs are set By Liu, then his unit retreats along with Kazuki's. Save &
when we resume we travel to Mindoro to set up camp.
---------------------------------------------------------
Mindoro camp ground______________________
--------------------------------------------------------
Here talk to Liu who talks with you about attacking Taal base, most of the
group think it's suicide but Liu informs everyone it won't be easy after this
Move to the hanger to get ready for the long haul, upgrade & buy more parts
such as Zeros & Genie. Here are the products & upgrade prices, using equip
after sale would be useful here too to trade in old weapons for reduced price

don't you think? forward march!

Hey, Hey! what the hell's... The USN! well it's been a while oh look it's that

Wow these guys have buffed up! Seriously though they are armed with nasty
weapons & battle skills! you could work on them one at a time but the others
will sandwich you together which ain't good, so choose your best four from your
squad & face each one on one here is who I pitted against each other.
Kazuki vs Joe
Liu vs Dennis
Pham vs Cindy (Ahh but I like em both!)
Alisa vs Gastor
Pierre is also on hand so I guess you do have some back up for this battle come
with repair kits & restore lo's just in case you lose a part & make sure you
have battle skills on everyone to turn the battle in your favour. This battle
will be harder if you haven't got to grips with the battle system yet but
saying all this I got a Platinum medal for this so you may not do bad at all
but don't underestimate the U.S.N. or at least not that babe Cindy he, he
Save at intermission & do what you like until you feel ready to continue & get
back to the action!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alisa is out of action for this battle so those choppers can only be taken down
from close range unless someone has another rocket launcher, but you will have
Liu who's range will make up for Alisa's absence in this battle. I find this
battle rather annoying because the Hannigers always use missiles & they are
ussually too far out of range for you to counter attack unless you are Liu, If
only for this battle I would advise replacing your Melee weapons with shields
so you don't get put at a major disadvantage. There are also cannons mounted on
platforms to left & right of you starting position so if possible avoid them
because if they do hit it can cause a fair amount of damage.
I don't know about you but that battle was a load of crap! & on top of it all
damn annoying, well nevermind Liu tries to reactivate the door then... we
follow Kazuki heh.
---------------------------------------
Taal base/Research facility
---------------------------------------
Alisa! Who the? hm oh that guy it's just Lukav everyone, come on Kazuki let's
kick his damn ass! well looks like he got away but only for now, we have to
stop MIDAS getting away! Oh shit the plane! Jose huh? put yer dukes up pal.

Wanzers: Jose, OCU Hanniger, Tank pilot OCU+2, WZR pilot OCU+2
Enemy battle skills: None Enemy weapon class-B Battle rating*Easy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best take those choppers down first then you can really do as you please
because Jose doesn't have any battle skills so he isn't that much of a worry to
you but in Emma's story he has the ROFUPII battle skill. You may even manage
platinum here & on that note there isn't much more to say about this battle.
After coming all this way we fail?! Damn! well let's save & continue our next
plan of action. Also before going on do some rounds of the simulator
---------------------------------------
Batangas
---------------------------------------
Here you witness an FMV of the awsome destructive power of the MIDAS bomb, Liu
heads full speed ahead for Batangas. When you arrive the city is in ruins.....
You also meet Emma again here oh & that damn Lukav who seems smug with the
bomb's destructive capabilities. When you are presented with a choice of what
to do talk to Alisa & Emma oh alright Emir will call Alisa by her real name
Aliciana, then you see an FMV showing how Alisa knows Emma & this also explains
some of her past. Then after Lukav tells you of a shocking truth (The bastard!
I can't stand this guy!) talk to Emma then Liu will tell you we now need to
escape the Philipines. Talk to Liu to head to the bar, he tells the group to
head to the ambassador of Ravnui for help so our new target is DHZ lands. Talk
with all your party & especially save first, you will see why in a minute. Then
talk with the people in the bar & get ready. This new nemesis Serov will prove
to be a real freak, Kazuki runs out to do battle & Liu & co follow up. Serov is
outside & is obviously insane so we need to bring him down for good!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Serov, WZR pilot OCU+4 Enemy battle skills:None Enemy weapon class-B
Battle rating:*Hard
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nasty battle here, Serov has many weapons here such as rockets & a machine gun
& a grenade launcher! firstly make sure you dispose of as many wanzers as you
can, don't worry if you don't take them all out cause you will have some rather
unexpected help there. If you haven't taken out many wanzers by turn 7 or 8
then Serov goes insane & yes he even attacks his own allies! this he ussually
does until they die or until your squad's wanzers are the only one's left. when
attacking Serov & you defeat him something a little wierd happens, he instantly
gains 500 hp back on his body! I call that cheating but guess there isn't much
we can do about it so surround him & finish him off for good, Damn maniac!
Whoever deafeats Serov after his regenaration will gain massive & I mean
massive weapon exp well 774 exp to be exact!
After the battle listen to Serov banter on about crap all then see him get
turned in to southern fried chicken as his wanzer gets blown to bits by Liu! Is
.. Liu hiding something... Nah he wouldn't do that right? Anyhow Pham's luxery
transport comes to the rescue & we take to the air just in time! But Pierre
stays behind to protect Pham...... Save & check your mail, let's move on....
_______________________________________________________________________________

Poor Pham, Kazuki gets mad when Alisa is talked about in conversation but Alisa
is fine with it. Meanwhile anti- aircraft missiles are approching & we have a
major crisis at hand! No! we're going down. Liu has some witty sarcasm with
Kazuki but Kazuki's having none of it so we jump off in our combat ready
wanzers. Now prepare to meet your new neighbors in this country, the Hua Lian
rebels! Gulp maybe not.

Wanzers: Hatta, WZR HL rebels+5, Enemy battle skills:None Enemy weapon class:B*
Battle rating*Hard
------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all don't group your wanzers together! The reason for this is that the
tank like crab wanzer has a grenade launcher that can hit all of the wanzers
within quite a wide area range, be careful as some of the wanzers use a melee
spike weapon that can stun your team. Missiles are recommended along with two
of your team with fire armour, & the other two using impact. There are also
various trees in place & you can tactically use these to reduce the enemy's
chances of hitting you with a rifle, machine gun, or shotgun. This tactic
will help you survive future battles so don't forget to use the environment
to your advantage! With most of the wanzer rebels take them down one by one
this will later allow you to focus your full attention on the crab wanzer..
Phew, to hell with that! Now let's save & make out for Jilong base
---------------------------------------
Jilong base
---------------------------------------
Meet with commander Han who looks like an alien I must say, you learn that our
old friends the U.S.N are on the move talk to Han once again then after talk to
your "real" commander Liu to find that we our meeting someone who is of real
help, Thank god! At the bar talk to Man in a brown suit this guy is Clay who is
.. wait ambassador for the U.S.N.! oh that's ok he's a spy as luck would have
it, talk to Clay then after talk to him for a third time to recieve the Taal
base mission in the battle simulator. Leave the bar to come out in the city of
Taipei, yes that's right head for the shop before going anywhere else.
---------------------------------------
Taipei shop
---------------------------------------
Kazuki's pretty pissed off but Ryogo's still as happy as a bean. Right after
the initial chat, get down to shopping for new weapons, re-stock you know the
drill also you can buy level 3 upgrades for your wanzer here! I would highly
reccomend you still keep Kazuki in a Zenislev but it is up to you, be sure to
buy the new computers but choose COMB554 as I will explain the benefits later.
Also you can purchase the first flamethrower here which can do extra damage at
the cost of more AP. Don't feel the need to buy & upgrade everything at once
because we can buy stuff later on the network terminal, Happy shopping!

After you've been shopping it's time to report back to Alien Han, so go to
leave the city to return to Jilong base.
---------------------------------------
Jilong base
---------------------------------------
Oh crap! curse you money maker! Han schemes & decides not to send back up
---------------------------------------
Taipei suberbs
---------------------------------------
Oh my is it? yes it really is! ohhh Cindy & the.. oh the U.S.N. I don't think
they will just retreat do you? nah didn't think so either, here we go again!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Joe, Dennis, Cindy, Gastor Enemy battle skills: Chaff (cindy),
E-skill down (joe), TackleI (dennis), Initiative I (gastor)
Enemy weapon class:B** Battle rating*Hard
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S.N. fight 3
Gastor & Joe pack quite a punch with those max weights as their main melee
weapons sometimes taking off 300-400 HP of damage from your wanzers! They are
the biggest threats so eliminate them fast, Dennis & Cindy really don't have
much that can pose major damage to you because if you take out their main arms
where their weapons are mounted they are helpless & like most enemies in this
situation they will skip their turn or try a crap hard blow, If Alisa has
multiple panic shots there is a good chance that when she fires her missiles
she will launch several panic shots in a row thus destroying a major part of
Joe or Gastor's wanzer. Then it becomes eaisier to immobolize them for the
battle. For this battle come with anti-impact defence to reduce the damage Joe
& Gastor dish out also having the battle skill fast attack will improve your
chances of attacking without receiving a counter attack
Back to base we go! oh what joyful bliss.... Save at intermision & we return
once again to Jilong base.
---------------------------------------
Jilong base
---------------------------------------
We have to go through the tunnels of Futai to get to the DHZ which isn't good
as Liu explains, you are then back in town but if you have done what was
required here before return to base to start the next mission. Talk to Liu once
you return then tell him you are ready to go, after Han is scheming again
can't he just go back to Mars or something? Anyway on to Futai tunnel your
weapon class should be at least B** or beyond by now.
---------------------------------------
Futai tunnel
---------------------------------------
Wow, nice going Liu! that armoured train is sure to come in handy uh company?
Marcus! man do we have to fight him? guess so
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Marcus, WZR pilot U.S.N.+6 Enemy battle skills:None
Enemy weapon class-B** Battle rating* Hard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The difficulty now starts to crank itself up in Alisa's story & this battle has
no exeption because most of your enemy's not including Marcus have rifles! Use
the armoured train as you have one now so you might as well put it to use, if
you decide to pilot the train you will need to get out of your wanzer by using
eject but make sure you are right next to the train so you are not left wide
open on the battle field & can get straight in to the train. The train is armed
with missiles & grenades I think, it also has a machine gun. Pass a turn & wait
for the wanzers to come to you & If Kazuki has double assult with a shotgun or
machine gun & a melee weapon in hand you are likley to take out both an enemy
wanzer's arms. Marcus won't make a move right away so don't head straight for
him because you can finish him off after you've used a few missile's from the
train. Note that the train will still take on damage & it's probally a good
idea to use anti-penetration defence on it & Allot most if not all your AP in
to it providing you have over 15- 20 AP to spare for lauching the attacks &
moving, counter attcking etc. If you capture many of the grapple M1 wanzers I
would keep one to use the parts then sell any additional one's for about 2000-
4300 cash depending on what upgrades it had. This fight may take you a few
tries but take your time & you will be victorious.
That takes care of that! Do the usual at intermision & we charge down that
tunnel but Hault! More fun loving U.S.N.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers:WZR pilot U.S.N.+6 Enemy battle skills:None Enemy weapon class-B**
Battle rating- Hard
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is pretty much the same as before but the enemy will try to surround you
in less turns than before plus most are again armed with rifles. Having
Missiles is an a good option but usually if the enemy is within your missile
range, then you will also be within rifle range! Play this battle carefully
& try to anticipate the enemy moving to postions out of your reach.
Well there is light at the end of the tunnel then, Let's move people! What
awaits us in the DHZ? Nobody knows. actually Liu knows but you will see what I
mean later.
*******THIS CONCLUDES THE TAIWAN CHAPTER********
_______________________________________________________________________________
---------------------------------------
Fuzhou/ Navel base
---------------------------------------
After meeting & talking with Liang, talk to him again & finally talk to him
again to go to Changsha
---------------------------------------
Changsha
---------------------------------------
You've just come across the R.R.F, Liu will explain what that stands for, a
woman is telling a pilot to search the train car for something. When she spots
Liu's unit she gets a little too stubborn. Opps Hua Lian are out to play again,
no avoiding conflict here! As if you would back down from this fight anyway!
------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Wuo Ben, WZR HL rebels+4, HL chopper Enemy battle skills: None
Enemy weapon class B*** Battle rating*Medium
----------------------------------------------------------
Follow the same stratergy as when you fought them before at Xueshan, the only
difference is that they are more resiliant & damn annoying!
Look these rebels are obviously living in poverty, yet they are in wanzers
which most likley cost a fortune what is the deal there huh?! nevermind save
then we'd best be on our way. Liu says we can get supllies though. Check your
e-mail Pierre lives! as he will e-mail Pham.
---------------------------------------
Wan'an/supply base
---------------------------------------
Here you see Lan again but she won't pay you any mind as before. talk to Kou to
get another simulator stage, this one's for Taipei. Now select go out to enter
Wan'an city & yes folks you guessed it we should visit the shop so moisey on
over there. Here you can upgrade your defence eveation etc to level 3 & get

here. Anyway here is the price list & the products.

Whoah! Now report back to Liu at the supply base for your new orders.
---------------------------------------
Suichuan
---------------------------------------
So the old fart wants to fight, fine by me I hate the Hua Lain to hell by now
anyway. Let's finish this!
------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Yu, WZR pilot HR rebels+2 tanks Enemy battle skills: None
Weapon class:C Battle rating*Easy
-----------------------------------------------
This is quite an easy battle to tell you the truth, as most of your enemies
here are tanks that don't present any real challange to take down. Take out the
two wanzers before anything else & deal with Yu last so you can surround him
for an easy take down. Yu does have a powerful Melee attack but that is really
all he has going for him.
Lan arrives & I'm only too happy to oblige by what she says, the RRF destroy
Suichuan reducing it to ashes, well our job's done here anyway save & let's
continue. The e-mail for Liu here is a virus, from moneymaker it's your choice
whether you read it but it won't make any difference because nothing can result
from it only a short conversation with Liu & Miho.
---------------------------------------
Wan'an/supply base
---------------------------------------
Lan comes in to the supply base rather angry, talk to the soldier then to Lan.
Now you must leave the supply base for a while so do so, now head to the bar
for a chat with your team members. next talk to Wei then Kaszuki follow in
pursuit! Talk to Wei in the empty house for some very shocking & quite
disturbing infomation...... Wei then gets away. Return to Liu.
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Watch the cool scenes that unfold here & we are flung in to battle yet again!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Zhuwen, HR rebels+4, chopper +3 Enemy battle skills:None
Enemy weapon class:C Battle rating*Hard
--------------------------------------------------------------
I am really sick of these guys now & I thought the JDF were bad, the choppers
are armed with machine guns but most of the wanzers here including Zhuwen are
armed with rifles so they kind of have the advantage but you do have a armoured
car left over so use it if things get rough but it would be best to use it with
someone who has a high weapon class with missiles or machine guns. If it is
possible eliminate the threat of the Choppers A.S.A.P
After the battle we are saved by the Wulong! These guys are cool seriously &
later on in the secrets section I'll tell you how to get thier wanzers for
yourself! Anyway enjoy as Chang's jaw drops to the floor & the cowardly rebels
withdraw! Rudolf does the introductions & you have some new allies but they
won't join forces with you just yet. Liu knows these guys quite well & the
centepide take us directly to Tian Lei... for a fee of course, don't worry
everyone Liu's footing the bill! heh.
---------------------------------------
Hengshan
---------------------------------------
After the drop off thanks to Rudolf & co we arrive on the Tianlei only to be
scolded by Lan, Jiu talks to Liu about something suspicious. Now head to your
room to rest. Liu talks about an imaginary number & you meet the rather strange
Jared in the hallway, now go to crew room. Just as we get comfy the alarm is
raised & no Ryogo it's not time for lunch just yet! Grrr Hua lain idiots!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Chang, HR rebels+5 Enemy battle skills:None Enemy weapon class:C***
Battle rating*Medium
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You do have some rather handy missile support from the launchers on the Tianlei
& they attack after all your allies have had their turn.
The Imaginary numbers show up for clean up & it's time to aid the R.R.F,
no rest? oh bummer. By the way if you e-mail moneymaker after reading Alisa's
e-mail Alisa can win the beauty pageant but it's up to you, if you want to win
pay 500 cash to moneymaker. ^_^
---------------------------------------
Hengshan
---------------------------------------
Why am I not surprised... surley you can guess who shows up here?!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: HR rebels+6 Enemy battle skills:None Enemy weapon class:C***
Battle rating*Hard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle you encounter Lan again then at intermission save & resume
your game.
---------------------------------------
Chongyan
---------------------------------------
Brutal going's on here.... the Tianlei tramples over all in it's way too,
Kazuki is having none of it but a shot stops him in his tracks. a young boy is
seriously injured & shouts for help so Lan to the rescue then. Jared warns Lan
& Kazuki but Liu steps in & tells the coldblood unit to pull out. Lan's wanzer
falls to the ground which prompts the end of this scene.
---------------------------------------
Tianlei infirmary
---------------------------------------
Here Kwang talks with Alisa about the rebels, then talk to him again & Jiu
arrives & orders Kwang's treatment to stop then Alisa is thrown out of the
infirmary.
---------------------------------------
Tianlei crew room
---------------------------------------
Alisa is pretty down & Liu tells of what will happen to Kwang now he has been
captured, then talk to Alisa & Liu get's rather mad & Miho hatches a rather
risky plan to save Kwang. The scene then shifts to the brig where Lan is
prisoner because she won't kill Kwang, Miho is on the bridge with Alisa to
disable the security. meanwhile Kazuki, Pham, & Ryogo need to take the inner
elevator to go outside but.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Shangdi 1 +3, Wude 3 + 2, Battle skills:None Enemy weapon class-C**
Battle rating*Very Hard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stupid, stupid fight here because we have reduced numbers for battle which
isn't that bad right? but when you are out numbered by at least 3 wanzers that
have melee weapons that's when you die
Ah now we find out where Liu is, why didn't you say before Miho!!! After the
scenes you assume control of Lan so talk to Kwang in the brig. Then after
Miho's blabbing we save Lan & Kwang so talk to Lan to escape. get ready to face
more auto piloted wanzers!
------------------------------------------------------
Wanzers: Shangdi 1 +4, Wude 3 +2
------------------------------------------------------
Lan-w.rank -E, Alisa, Ryogo, Kazuki, Pham
This may be a tough fight alright, but to level the playing fields Lan
is also assisting in this fight with her weapon rank of E no less!!!
Save at intermission then resume & Lan destroys Ryogo's wanzer! this was the
plan right. then we go from Chongyan to Wuhan!
---------------------------------------
Wuhan supply base
---------------------------------------
After the convosation ends select go out to get ready for the trip to Shanghai.
Yep head straight for the shop unless you want to visit the bar but there isn't
much there anyway, In the Wuhan shop HP upgrades of level 4 are now avalible so
upgrade & buy what you can. Other than the level 4 HP upgrade there is nothing
major abot the Wuhan shop in the way of weapons.
