Valkyria Chronicles

Got this one for Christmas, and have proceeded with owning face in it.

There is something great to be said for RPGs with tanks.  And they seem to pull of off rather well.  The tanks dominate, but they are not the end all be all.  My current strategy is to roll up with the Edelweiss, crushing their cover and blowing up other cover before sending in the infantry.  Anyone else working at this game?

God damn Maxmillian and his giant tank of death!

God damn Selvaria killing all my mens with beamspam!

Wrrrrrrrrrry!

I found it helps to damage all 3 radiators so that all of them only require one more hit before taking them all out.  That way when Selvaria comes along and starts one shotting your troops you need to do far less damage.  I also spammed lancers, left a sniper and Edelweiss to deal with the troops.

PS:
After taking out the radiators you still have to actually blow up the tank.

I've been thinking about picking this up as I found the demo very interesting.  I have a nasty habit lately of picking games up and not playing through them as thoroughly as I should though and that's what's making me think maybe I shouldn't pick this up.  Looks like the sort that you can't pick up for an hour or so and just blast through a small section and then go about your day.

Sure you can.  The game is separated in chapters.  Warning though, it shall consume your soul.

Hail the liberation of Fouzen!

Especially since I was so cautious I managed to pull it off on turn 19 ._.
