Strategy
Thomson and his men are putting up a good fight, but unknown to them, Zakov and his men are about to join the battle. Translation: the Kingdom Army needs help.. NOW!
I can't think of a good caption for this one; write your own!
From the start of the battle, move in towards the town walls and stay there for the duration of the battle. Take down the Imperials, scoring as many kills as you can while preventing the Kingdom guys from taking your hard work (okay, well THEY were here first, but that doesn't matter now, does it?!). By the time your whole team actually gets to the town walls, Zakov and his men will have appeared.
Don't run in to attack them; that will result in the needless death of your party. Instead, continue to take on the Einlager units near the town walls, waiting for Zakov's men to advance. There should still be some Kingdom units left from the original skirmish, and they will be the unwilling decoys of Imperials 7-10, while you beat them up from behind. With reinforcements like that.. who needs enemies, eh?
Don't feel guilty about what you did.. it was either them or you, right? Instead of mourning (and eventually realizing that the soldiers don't actually DIE), take down that Sharking that should be really, really close right now. Sadira and Andrew should wear it down with Turbulence, and when it's dizzy, throw everything you have at it. Once Zakov has been humbled, the battle will be very easy to finish off. Try and have Bastion learn Second Attack during this mission, and possibly have Sadira or Andrew learn it as well.

Now that the mission is complete..

- You move on to Mission 52

Before beginning Mission 52, save, load stats from Options screen and then Interview. Check the Briefing for an overview of what's next, and when you're ready, head to Mission 52: Howling Duyere. Not only does he howl, but he wears tiaras, too. Could Duyere be the first openly homosexual emperor in the history of RPGs?
