Ginchiyo Tachibana, Battle of Kusegawa

[PaleGringo]

This reminds me A LOT of something I just so recently posted about earlier. The objective for this mission is to defeat ALL the enemy officers, and you are defeated if ANY of your officers are beaten in glorious combat.

WTF? Anyobdy remember this one or have some practical ideas?

Actually, I was wrong about this one. Pretty easy when you know where to go.

Start by taking out the two officers in the middle, then head to the Northwest to finish off the first part of the level. Now head all the way to the Southeast and make sure that no officers get out of that gate. Shouldn't be too hard, unless you let them pile up on you. Relieve Mitsunari who will be fighting two guys in the main camp to the Southwest, and then go directly north again. Hanzo should have appeared by now, so take him out as well by going North from the main camp. Head back through the middle to clean up.

I beat this in 11'49"85, and got an A rank. Hardest part for me was that I didn't get the Southeast exit secured initially, and the mission ends if any officer gets out. Hope that helps somebody else!

I really need help with this level, I'm finding it so bloody cheap.

So, I take out the three nearby officers at the start, head down to kill the two at the escape point, successfully blocking it off in time. I kill the officer in the southern garrisson, also the two that spawn there, then head west to kill the commander's lackey and Hanzo when he appears.

This is where it just gets silly, first I'll help out at the base and take as much energy from the commander as I can, then I'll be told that one of the three-star officers is struggling, near the southern enemy garrisson, against infantry. I have to babysit him to stop him retreating, then I'm told the officers to the north are struggling... what can I do? I can't leave the officer I'm at because he'll be defeated, but left too long the guys up north will be too, and there's still the base to defend.

Argh.
