Important Battlefield Events:

Reyna and Ione enter the battlefield the turn after Bastion's second turn. Choosing either dialogue choice has no effect on your morale or anything important; you simply get different messages.

Strategy

This is your very first mission, and as you probably would have figured, it's very easy to complete. You should be able to survive with little more than a few hits. But that wouldn't require a walkthrough page, would it? That's the thing; since it is an easy mission, we should take advantage of it and get as much as we can. Considering that we are just beginning the game, having a good amount of EXP early in the game would really give us the upper hand, so that's what we're going to try and get. Therefore, the best course of action for this mission is to watch how you fight. Kamorge will be dealing a lot of damage to the Imperials (about 15-25 per hit), so plan around this. Allow Kamorge, Reyna or Ione to weaken the Imperials to a low HP total, and have Bastion deliver the final blow. If an Imperial attacks you, feel free to counter with Thrust attacks, but make sure you don't lower your opponent's HP too much, or someone might claim your kill. Always plan ahead, checking the Turn Order every now and then, and you may gain valuable EXP and money, and possibly shoot up a level or two before Mission 2! If you DO manage to gain 2 levels during this battle, you will be able to learn Str. Slash, and you will also have a good chance of reaching the Empire Branch of the game, if you so desire. The trick is to watch the Imperial Soldiers' behaviour. Often, they will block the 2-space passageways so that your allies will not be able to hit them from behind. Hitting from behind does much more damage, and should the Imperials do this, you'll have some free hits at their backsides. Again, make sure you can do enough to kill when you strike, or your hard work could be taken by a CPU controlled ally, and that... sucks.

Now that the mission is complete..

- You now control 2 more team members; Reyna and Ione. Reyna pilots the Haurol, and Ione the Barazaph

- You move on to Mission 2

Before beginning Mission 2, save your game and load stats from the Options screen (do this after every mission to be safe), and head to the Interview screen. Since Reyna will be the only one sticking with you until the end of the game, chat with her 3 times. Check the Briefing for an overview of what's next, and when you're ready, head to Mission 2: Bandit Brigade.
