You are thrust right into your first battle. Karen (your girl) is being chased by Driscoll, a high ranking military officer in the USN. You must save Karen and defeat the USN mechs. You have assisting you Sakata and an unnamed OCU solider. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 1 Enemy Units: 2 Missliers 4 Attackers 1 Driscoll Notes: 1.) No matter what you do you cannot save Karen. Her mech is destroyed and she is caputred. 2.) After you destroy the 4 mechs Driscoll blows up the warehouse. The USN blames Roid and then OCU and the USN begin the second Huffman dispute. The story picks up a year later when Olson recruits you for the OCU. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The city of Barinden 1.) Here in the city of Barinden you meet Olson in the coliseum. You will have to fight someone so Olson can see how good you are. It doesn't matter if you win or lose the fight. 2.) After the fight you will be on the city main menu. Go to the Military Office. Here you will talk to Olson and he will ask for your help. Choose YES. * Natalie is introduced and is now part of your unit. 3.) You can go around Barinden and do what you want. Be sure to upgrade your Panzer! 4.) When you are finished in the city SAVE your progress and go to EXIT. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 2 Enemy Units: 2 Missliers 5 Attackers 1 Commander Notes: 1.) 2 Panzer pilots, Keith and J.J. are surrounded by USN Panzers. Before they get clobbered, you Sakata, and Natalie are air-dropped in to save their necks. 2.) Keith and J.J are introduced and join your unit right away. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the city of New Milgan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 3 Enemy Units: 3 Missliers 5 Attackers 1 Commander Notes: 1.) Fredrick is introduced here. He is a reporter covering the plane wreck. He begins as a NPC (non-player character). This means he will act on his own, which is not good. You must attempt to keep him from getting his Panzer destroyed. Try using flash grenades on him to keep him from moving. He will run right into the enemy if you dont stop him. But dont worry, even if his Panzer is destroyed, he is still alive. 2.) Before you actually begin, you will go to the unit select screen. Here you will choose which mechs will go with you on this mission (see what to do when you want to go on a mission, in the gameplay section). 3.) As soon as you begin this mission, go and protect Fredrick. Attack the mechs that attack him, ect... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the city of New Milgan --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 4 Enemy Units: 4 Missliers 5 Attackers 1 Commander Notes: 1.) Pewee is introduced in this mission. He is apart of a convoy that is attacked by USN mechs. You must protect the trucks. They must not be destroyed! 2.) The trucks will pull off the road and drive into a dense wooded area. Use this to your advantage. Put your mechs in places where enemy mechs can't get around you because of the forest. Block thoes enemy units! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the city of Menasa 1.) In the city of Menasa you are challenged (Olson asks you) to fight Yang, a Panzer Ace. You should go to the Coliseum and fight Yang. You can choose which mech should take her on. You must win to get her to join. If you loose, fight her again until you win. 2.) Go to the bar and talk to Alder, he challenges you to a fight in the Coliseum. If you win he will join your team. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greyrock --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 5 Enemy Units: 3 Missliers 5 Attackers 3 Commander 1 Driscoll Supply Trucks: 1 Notes: 1.) Driscoll is in this mission! Be careful. Don't advance toward him or he will attack. If he doesn't attack he will leave after all the other mechs are destroyed. If he does attack, forget it. He is WAY too powerful. He will wipe you out. Remember to always save in between missions. 2.) Paul is introduced here as a NPC. You should try to protect him. Don't worry if you can't (I never can). He almost always gets too far ahead to catch up to him and gets blown up. 3.) The supply truck leaves after a little while offering no repairs for the enemy troops. 4.) When you have destroyed all enemy mechs, Driscoll blows up some buildings nearby attempting to recreate the disaster that shamed you in the Larcus Incident. Then the mission is over and Roid thinks back to the past and the way Driscoll trapped him before. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the city of Greyrock 1.) Olson tells you to look for a pilot named Hans. There is a new option on the city menu now called Seeker Hans. When you go here you will talk to Hans. When he asks to join choose YES. He doesn't go on missions for awhile though. 2.) Now go to the military office and Olson will assign Peewee to your unit. Peewee drives the Supply Truck. When in battle when you run out of missles, need items, or you get an arm or leg blown off and need it repaired, you will need to go to the supply truck. To reload missles, etc..., when in battle place your mech along side or infront or behind the supply truck. On your next turn, press the B button and choose SUPPLY. You will then go into the setup screen and here you can get supplies or change out mech parts. Your missles are automatically refilled when you enter the setup screen. Your destroyed arms and legs are automatically repaired when you enter the setup screen, however, they will need to have a repair used on them to refill the HP. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 6 Enemy Units: 3 Missliers 6 Attackers 2 Commander 3 Missile Launchers Notes: 1.) In this mission you need to destroy three missle launchers before OCU airplanes pass overhead. You have 10 turns in which to do this. Don't worry about the enemy Panzers at first, go directly after the missle launchers. NOTE!!!: When this mission is over and the main map is shown, dont press the A button! Press left or right on the control pad until the line is pointing back to Greyrock. Then you can press the A button. If you don't do this you will go to the next mission right away and you wont be able to restock on items, save, ect.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the city of Greyrock --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 7 Enemy Units: 6 Missliers 6 Red Panzers Notes: 1.) Here are some really tough Panzers. They are huge and packa punch! They are the "Hell's Wall" squad (see character descriptions for more info). My suggestion is to stay put and let the enemy come to you. Use Missiles! For most of this misison, I used missiles only. Remember to use Flash Grenades too on the tough guys so they will loose turns. NOTE!!!: When this mission is over and the main map is shown, dont press the A button! Press left or right on the control pad until the line is pointing back to Greyrock. Then you can press the A button. If you don't do this you will go to the next mission right away and you wont be able to restock on items, ect.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the city of Greyrock --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 8 Enemy units: 13 Supply trucks: 2 Boss units: 1 1.) In this mission you are fighting in the city. Stay put and let the enemy come to you. 2.) When you attack the boss mech, don't fight hand to hand or use a gun! Stay away from it and use missles. Be sure to use a flash grenade on it each turn to keep it from attacking. 3.) When the mission is over Hans shows up and from now on he is in the unit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the city of Freedom 1.) Go to the coliseum and Jorg is introduced. You must fight him and win in order for him to join your group. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 9 Enemy units: 10 Supply trucks: 2 Notes: 1.) Muary is introduced in this mission as an NPC. You must try to protect him. He joins your group but doesn't fight with you for a couple of missions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the city of Freedom --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 10 Enemy units: 12 Supply trucks: 3 Notes: 1.) USN mechs are surrounding a OCU base (or their own base?) You can only fight with 8 mechs from your unit. I suggest you take the best mechs with you. 2.) Maury is an NPC again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the city of Freedom --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 11 Enemy units: 12 Supply trucks: 1 Boss units: 2 Notes: 1.) Use flash grenades on the boss units and attack with missles. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the city of Peseta 1.) After you go to the military office 2 mechs start fighting in the city. You can choose to battle one of them to stop the fighting. Choose YES when prompted. When you win Bobby and Porguna will join your unit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 12 Enemy units: 12 Notes: 1.) Here you are going to sabotage a rail road line in order to capture something from the train. Hans sets the explosives and you watch the train try to escape but fail. Enemy mech come out of the train to attack. You have 8 turns to get to the caboose. 2.) There are supplies infront of most of the doors of the train. Just have your mechs stop infront of the train doors and you will pick up some weapons and supplies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the city of Beltchka --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 13 Enemy units: 9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the OCU frontbase --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 14 Enemy units: 11 Supply trucks: 1 Notes: 1.) Yeehin is introduced as an NPC and Yang is an NPC for the first couple of turns. You must protect Yeehin. Your best bet is to corner him in so he can't move. 2.) The enemy mech won't move for the first couple of turns, this is an exellent oppurtunity to attack the misslers that are at the top (North) of the map. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the O.C.U. frontbase --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 15 Enemy units: 12 Large cannons: 3 Small cannons: 4 Notes: 1.)

Gentz tells Roid that the factory explosion was a setup. Sakata industry moved the stuff inside the factory and replaced it with explosions. They did this so that Sakata industry can use brains of dead and alive prisoners of war into computers with the help from Driscoll and his gang. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to Fort Monus --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 21 Enemy units: 13 Supply trucks: 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the city of Soleit --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission 22 Enemy units: 14 Boss unit: 1 Supply trucks: 1 Notes: 1.) Fredrick if fighting on Gentzs' side. I'm am not sure why, but he didn't attack me during battle so I didn't attack him. 2.) Stay up at the top of the moutians until most of the units are destroyed. Don't destroy Fredrick's mech. Back to the City of Soleit 1.)
