WALKTHROUGH The Larcus Incident The game begins after you have selected a your name and your callsign. 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 captured by Driscoll and his taken from you. 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 Orson 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.) Orson 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. 3.) Now, go back to the city of Mensa and go to the bar. Go talk to Alder. Choose YES when prompted and he will join your group! 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.

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.

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 Gregorio is introduced. You must fight him and win in order for him to join your group.

Mission 12 Your Units : 8 Enemy Units: 3 Missliers 6 Attackers 1 Commander 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 3rd car or destroy all the enemy Panzers. 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 1.) The next mission is tough. Equip 5 of your best pilots with the toughest Panzers. Mission 13 Your Units : 5 Enemy Units: 3 Missliers 3 Attackers 3 Commander Notes: 1.)

Yeehin is introduced as an NPC and Yang is an NPC for the first couple of turns. You must protect Yeehin. 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 Your Units : 9 Enemy Units: 3 Missliers 8 Attackers 1 Kirkland Large cannons: 3 Small cannons: 4 Notes: 1.) Take your time on this mission. Reload your Panzer's missles often. Use flash grenades to make the cannons miss turns. 2.) As a note, the large cannons cannot short range attack! 3.) In this mission you can obtain the Ziege Gun. I WARN YOU. This will ruin the game for you. It makes it too easy. I suggest playing it through once normally at least, then you can go back and play using the Ziege Gun. Everytime you fire it (even when you miss!) you get 700+ exp points! Heres where it is hidden: In the top leftmost corner of the map. Look below where the cursor is pointing.

Mission 17 Your Units : 8 Enemy Units: 5 Missliers 6 Attackers 1 Gentz Supply trucks: 1 Notes: 1.) You need to protect the helicopter from the enemy units. Move a couple of your units toward the landing pad to clear out enemy units that hang around there. 2.) Before this mission make sure you equip your Panzers with legs that allow them to move far each turn. It will make it easier to protect the helicopter.

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. The evil plan is revealed!
