This was gold. I really liked all of the edits you did with the images and such.

Since Lucina and Ike appeared, does that mean you will recruit them as well?

Thank you so much! Out of curiosity, what was your favourite part? As for Ike and Lucina, I don't have their amiibos, sadly.

So if Valm is Germany and Plegia is Italy, that would make Ylisse Britain, correct? And then Chon'sin is France, with Yen'fey as Petain. I'm putting way too much thought into the FE WWII...

Well, the whole Valm/Ylisse/FE6!Elibe stuff was more fanservice than anything. But hey, sure, let's go with Britan!Ylisse and Chon'sin!France! Oooooh, your ideas makes my LP attempts so much fun!

Chapter 11:Battle of Coral Sea

As Hisashi and Nimitz sail to assist the Rainbow Sage, the Naval Air Force of Hoshido, led by Saburo Sakai Princess Hinoka attempt to attack the main carrier force.

[blah the Prussian]

So after that Chapter 12 can be Japanese commandos holding a field hospital hostage, Chapter 13 can be neo Confederates, Chapter 14 can be an assassination attempt on the Oresident, help me out for Valla, Chapter 16 can be Midway, and I don't know what to do for the period between Chapter 16 and the invasion of Hoshido.

[Acacia Sgt]

Hahaha, that was great. Maybe I should see that movie...

Bermuda Triangle for Valla?

Replace Saizo with Chiang Kai-Shek and have Mokushu be the Communist Chinese or Manchurians. Chapter 18 is Yalta, replace Izana with Churchill and Zola with Patton. The Beast Tribe can be Vichy Morocco. Wind Tribe is trying to convince Mexico to join in the Pacific. The Climb can be Italy or Normandy. Then Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa for the four Hoshido Siblings. The last 3 can all be War Crimes Trials.

[blah the Prussian]

Wait, why is Zola Patton? Patton wanted to declare war on the Soviets, sure, but he would follow the President's orders. I like Kotaro as Mao though. And I think that instead of war crimes trials a Buisness Plot style coup would work better.

[Moblin Major General]

Or Zola is my username. Rommel could've easily turned traitor, and indeed was treated as such.

[henrymidfields]

Okay, so my team is as follow as of the end of Chapter 11:

Myself Nohrian President Candidate Prince, Lv 13, HP 31

14, 2, 13, 12, 10, 9, 7 Sword D, Dragonstone D

Felicia Kalosian/French Maid, Lv 16, HP 25

9, 15, 19, 16, 23, 10, 19 Dagger C, Staff D

Elise Medic Truck Troubadour, Lv 18, HP 24

3, 21, 13, 17, 23, 7, 24 Shuriken/Dagger B, Staff C

Silas Light Tank Cavalier, Lv 14, HP 28

17, 1, 13, 16, 11, 16, 9 Lance D, Sword D

Arthur A true American Rifleman Fighter, Lv 12, HP 34

17, 0, 13, 9, 10, 14, 5 Axe C

Effie Heavy Tank (Armor) Knight, Lv 12, HP 27

19, 0, 11, 8, 14, 17, 5 Lance D

Odin Magical Gun Jeep Mage, Lv 11, HP 23

6, 9, 14, 11, 13, 10, 8 Tome C

Niles Sniper Spy Outlaw, Lv 13, HP 23

12, 7, 12, 20, 8, 11, 15 Bow D

Mozu Sniper Spy Archer, Lv 12, HP 19

15, 1, 17, 16, 8, 10, 6 Bows D

Azura Propagandist Singer, Lv 18, HP 19

15, 6, 17, 20, 22, 7, 12 Lance E

Beruka Fighter Plane Wyvern Knight, Lv 13, HP 25

17, 0, 15, 10, 11, 17, 8 Axe C

Selena Ylissean Infantry Mercenary, Lv 12, HP 25

12, 3, 13, 16, 10, 11, 9 Sword D

Camilla B29 Bomber (Atomic Bomb) Malig Knight, Lv 1, HP 30

21, 11, 15, 19, 12, 18, 15 Axe C, Tome D

Kaze Anti-facist Counter-propaganda and Japanese translation officer Ninja, Lv 10, HP 22

10, 0, 13, 19, 6, 8, 13 Shuriken/Dagger C

Benched: Nyx

So the question is whether I should continue using Beruka, Selena, and Kaze. I will eventually use Camilla, but not until all of my other units start to hit that Lv 20 ceiling and promotes. The other question is whether it is worth replacing Silas with Peri, or (if Selena should be dumped) Selena with Laslow. While I will S-support as many people as I can, and while I will play the paralogues for more EXP, I will not use any of the Gen 2 units at all (or more than absolutely necessary), as they will be such a pain in the pig's a** to incorporate in this WWII-themed story. I will not incorporate the paralogues into the story either. As for marriages I already have:

Mozu x Silas

Azura x Arthur

Elise x Odin

Effie x Niles

Intended soon:

Myself x Beruka

Edited August 7, 2016 by henrymidfields

[blah the Prussian]

Beruka and Selena are both pretty great. I used both in my playthrough. Selena especially is good.

[eclipse]

See how useful Laslow is on Chapter 12, as he's forced there. I prefer Laslow due to his personal skill, which is a useful mini-rally.

[henrymidfields]

Uh, so I've got an bit of an issue. I started writing the story for the actual battle for Chapter 11, but I just do not know which type of ships are appropriate for which unit. So far, I've got:

Niles as an Anti-aircraft frigate
Effie as a Battleship
Mozu as a Torpedo Boat
Silas as maybe a Destroyer? Or a Battlecruiser? Or a Heavy cruiser?
Selena as Cruiser?
Beruka as Fighter plane or a bomber
Odin as Magical Cruiser?
Myself as Command ship? Aircraft carrier? Pocket battleship?

Arthur as Heavy cruiser?
Elise as Emergency vessel (medical)
Felicia as maybe Q-Ship?

On the other hand:

Setsuna is probably anti-aircraft cruiser.

Kaze is probably submarine.

Rinkah is...maybe the same with Arthur???

Azama is...probably a repair/hospital ship? Wait, how should I explain Enfeeble???

Hinoka would be fighter plane? Or aircraft carrier?? (And Saburo Sakai would be the Javelin-Naginata?)

Quick, someone get either the Feldmarschall from the Afrikakorps or the Prussian Emperor!

[Moblin Major General]

Niles: Destroyer Escort

Effie: Iowa Class

Mozu: Destroyer

Silas: Atlanta Class

Beruka: VT squadron

Odin: PBJ-1H

Hisashi: Lexington Class Carrier

Arthur: Tennessee Class Battleship

Elise: Hospital Ship

Felicia: PBY-5A

Setsuna: Zuiho class Carrier

Kaze: Kumano

Rinkah: Kongo

Azama: Minelayer/Rescue boat

Hinoka: Shokaku-class

[blah the Prussian]

Chancellor, actually. But all of what Rommel says is good. Word of advice: they give you a freebie with Kagero, as the Kagero class was an actual class of destroyer in the IJN.

[henrymidfields]

Okay, I just did some self-teaching in the ships. Let me guess the reasons behind your recommendations, just so that I can educate myself about WWII military history a bit more:

• Niles/Destroyer Escort: Niles has the top speed per level out of everyone, and he even has an extra movement, and is shown to be quite nimble. Destroyer escorts are also designed to be nimble compared to other ships. Not to mention both have anti-air capability.
• Mozu/Destroyer: Fast and lightly armoured, but surprisingly powerful.
• Effie/Iowa-class battleship: The Iowa-class battleship must had been one of the biggest battleships the US Navy had during WWII. I also gather that it had one of the biggest and most powerful guns with one of its thickest armour, translating to Effie's top Strength and Defense stat per level, respectively. The battleship's surprisingly fast speed (over 30 knots when most are assumed to be 10-12 knots/hr) translates to Effie having higher speed, compared to Benny and maybe other FE armour knights from the past.
• Arthur/Tennessee-class battleship: Arthur has somewhat less Strength and Defense compared to Effie, similar to how Tennessee was a minor version of Iowa. USS Tennessee undergoing several damages during the course of war may also refer to Arthur's bad luck - keeping in mind that I used two Goddess Icons on him.
• Silas/Atlanta-class: Silas has comparable stats than Effie and Arthur, with the exception of a higher Speed. Atlanta-class cruisers also seem to have similar characteristics, where they were intended to be faster than a battleship, but better armed/protected than a destroyer.
• Beruka/VT Squardron: Uhh...wait, what's a VT??? I know it's a navy aircraft squad, but...
• Odin/PBJ-1H: Being B-25 Mitchells, they took part in air raids and the like, similar to how mages like Odin were employed against enemy units. Their durability also attests to Odin's relatively high Defense.
• Myself/Lexington-class carrier: From reading the history, I gather that Lady Lexington herself was the "headquarters" and "commander" for the vessels to the Coral Sea. If so, then this makes the connection obvious.
• Elise/Hospital Ship: So obvious as to make any explanations redundant.
• Felicia/PBY-5A: Felicia aides us by lowering enemy stats and replenishing allied HP. PBY Catalina was also multipurpose in this regard.

Would Selena/Severa from Ylisse be something similar to Arthur/Silas? Given that I've already made Ylisse as Britain, shall I make her HMAS, referring to Australia's (being part of the British Commonwealth) participation in the battle? Edited August 23, 2016 by henrymidfields

[Moblin Major General]

VT-Torpedo/Level Bomber Squadron, i,e. TBD Devastator or TBF Avenger.

PBJ-1H: A powerful attack plane, though not necessarily effective. Like Odin.

[Alastor15243]

As for whether or not to use Laslow...

USE HIM.

He takes some investment, but he's an absolutely fantastic rally bot who can make it way easier to double even at the very endgame, even for people like Xander who normally can't double very often. Especially since he can replicate too and follow a split army. Just make sure he gets an A+ with Keaton for Rally Strength and marries either Azura or Selena for Rally Speed (I recommend Azura since Selena's better for Xander, giving him a much needed boost to speed and resistance as a Falcon Knight pair-up. Sure, Azura could do that too, but would you really have Azura stand in the back and not sing?)

[henrymidfields]

I think I figure out what HMAS ship for Selena. I know her growth rates are generally comparable to Silas, with lower strength (Selena: 30% vs Silas 45%) and lower Skill (25% vs 50%) and slightly higher speed, defense, and resistance. I say that she is probably Leander-class which HMAS Sydney (D48) was one of, and which seem to have similar cannon sizes, speed, and armor thicknesses to the Atlanta-class cruiser. All right, time to write up the battle then.

[henrymidfields]

Chapter 11: Kantai Collection meets Fire Emblem Fates Battle of the Coral Sea The Rainbow Sage

[spoiler=Briefing and Navigation]



Admiral Chester Nimitz and I advanced to the South PacificNotre Sagesse to foil the Hoshidonts advancement onto the Rainbow territory in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Apparently, in addition to taking over the Rainbow Temple near Port Moresby, they also want to invade the Solomon Islands, Fiji, and northern Australia and take the Rainbow Sage hostage, under gunpoint! This shall not stand for the gallant nation of the United States of Nohr!


Admiral Cracey(left): G'day, mate! How ya doin?
Me:Not too bad, mate. You?
Admiral Cracey: Ain't too bad, considering how many bombs flyin round here. At least better than that bloody boring hole thats full of spin-doctorin' pollies. (Psst, Melbourne should have stayed as the capital!)

As it turned out, both Doug MacArthur and Chester intercepted and decoded Hoshidan communications, which seems to be a lot of fun. Theyve found out information of the Japanazi...no, Hoshidon't plans even before I got back from the Frozen Tribe in Alaska, so we had the benefit of the surprise factor. We met up with the Royal Australian Navy Rear-Admiral John Crace (show in above photo lol), who apparently comes from the really boring hole of Canberra some strange-named town called Gungahlin.



Upon discussion, we decided to intercept the Japanazino, Hoshidan fleets at the Coral Sea near the Rainbow Temple. We took a break over at the port town of the Solomon Islands (Notre Sagesse), refuelled our ships, and made our way.



The way across the sea was quite exhausting and...quite frankly, boring. Its just the same ocean waves ever. Not to mention just how hot is the South Pacific. At least both Elise, Camilla, and my new wife Belka's swimsuits look hot. (Cracey: 'Ey, you beauty!)



After a couple of days on the ocean, we finally spotted Hoshidon't ships and aircrafts on the horizon, with the Rainbow Temple. It looks like the Fleet that is commandeered by Admiral Shigeyoshi Inoue!! (photo immediately below)





The look of Hinoka's face is priceless! Looks like she and Shigeyoshi now has unexpected company! (ie us) Time to drive those J**s...no, Hoshidon'ts out! To arms, everyone!!!

[spoiler=Battle of the Coral Sea]So I summoned all of my fleet to battle. Destroyer escort USS Niles was paired up with Iowa-class battleship USS Effie, and destroyer USS Mozu was paired up with Atlanta-class cruiser USS Silas. They were sent over to engage against Zuiho-class aircraft carrier IJN Setsuna. Sydney-class HMAS Selena, Tennessee-class battleship USS Arthur, and myself in Lexington-class USS Hisashi (which Nimitz, Azura were also on) were escorted by VT-Devastator Beruka, PBT Catalina-Felicia, and Azura to engage the fleets (oni warriors) led by Kongo-class battleship IJN Rinkah.


IJN Setsuna depicted in Kancolle

Most of the enemies were not too difficult to engage, as long as one was aware of the caveats in the forms of skills. I just had to attack from two tiles away for Setsuna's destroyers (archers), due to their Counter skill otherwise, their battle spirit was quite flat due to Setsuna being quite a blockhead.



As for Setsuna herself (above two images), Mozu defeated Setsuna at her own game with a double attack of 22 damage each.


Oh and Setsuna was quite nonchalant about her ship being nearly sunk.


IJN Rinkah as depicted by Kancolle

Rinkah's heavy cruisers (oni warriors) had essentially useless skills, and I could just send in Selena escorted by Odin, being mindful of the damage calculations.





For Rinkah herself (above three photos), I first sent Odin in to damage Rinkah with Fire magic (with Azura's double time),sent in Felicia to further lower Rinkahs HP and Defense (and nearly being sunk in the process), and finished her off with Selena.


Rinkah busted!

For the next room, I ordered everyone on Rinkah's room on standby, due to medical and minelaying ship IJN Azama's Enfeeble mines (Enfeeble staff), which halves the maximum HP cap.


IJN Kaze as depicted in Kancolle.


Kaze in battle

The other battalions moved to the next room, in which they had little problem sinking the cruisers (depicted as ninjas in the game) in the room.



Kumano-class Heavy Cruiser IJN Kaze was also relatively straightforward, as I deployed Mozu with her Setsunas turret (Setsuna's Yumi), which damaged most of Kaze's armor and guns, despite the shaky accuracy. Kaze then attacked Mozu, only to be rendered inoperable by Mozu's counterattack.


Kaze busted!

Now I need to send them across the (samurai) light cruiser-infested territory and onto where Azama is! Silas escorted Mozu at full speed onto the other side of the room, easily brushing off the cruisers attacks. Effie also escorted Niles across, while Silas and Mozu set up their the attack against Azama. After completing their turns near the stairs into Azamas room, I weathered some more enemy attacks, then the next turn







I made Selena attack and shot down one of the fighter planes (mages), with Odin (with Azura's double-time command) started shooting down the second fighter plane while Mozu attacks Azama with her Setsuna-class turret, hopefully ending everything within one turn.



...Only to react with horror that Azama's Miracle skill kicked in, barely surviving with 1HP. He then attempted to lay Enfeeble mines around Selena, which she dodged, thankfully. One of the surviving fighter planes (mages) attacked Mozu while the other plane attacked Selena. I forgot whether the attacks missed of otherwise, but both survived, thankfully. With vengeance (not the skill, though), Odin shot one surviving plane, while Selena (with Azura's double-time) took down the other plane and Azama.



Meanwhile, Felicia and Arthur also had to get across to heal the worn-out units in Azama's territory. We had to play tag with the light cruisers (samurai), while we snuck into Hinoka's territory (which had fixed-position enemies), but then all the cruisers returned to their original positions, which made sneaking out more painful.



Anyway, they dashed straight into the other sea lane (set of stairs) where we were waiting.


On the other hand, this was the first time Niles used the capture command, and he managed to capture a Kodachi-holding Samurai!



This was also the first time Azura would actually battle on her own right. After regrouping, we then came back up and sunk all remaining light cruisers (samurais).

We finally advanced near to Hinokas position. Niles would then capture a Bolt Lance-holding Sky Knight on the left side, all in the hope that I can strip their weapons and make them ours like Tracia 776.


HE CAN DOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!


Wait what? Where did all the weapons they had go?? Noooooo!!! (Shown when the Prison back at MyCastle cannot accept any more prisoners.)


IJN Hinoka in Kancolle

Alright, lets move on. Ive decided to boss-abuse Shokaku-class aircraft carrier IJN Hinoka to gain some extra levels for my team and make Chapter 12 a bit more bearable.



Having picked up Cupid Bows from random My Castle events, I equipped them to Mozu and Niles, to allow them to do target practice against IJN Hinoka with ace pilot Saburo Sakai while using the additional effect of restoring her HP. It also helped that there was a Shrine Priest behind Hinoka which restored the latters HP.

And during all of this, I raised Beruka's, Azura's, and Felicia's levels:


FELICIA CAN DOOOOOOO IIIIIIITT!!!!


AZURA CAN DOOOOOOO IIIIIIITT!!!!

Unfortunately, Niles and Mozu also levelled up, with their resulting damages exceeding Hinoka's HP recovery from the Cupid effect. Enough was enough, I guess, and I finished off a 5HP Hinoka with Odin's 9-point damage critical.



Final turn count: 62 turns

[spoiler=Retreat of the Hoshidan fleet]


With many of the Hoshidont fleets sunk, we managed to change Hinoka's (and her Admirals') mind in holding the Coral Sea! One by one, the damaged ships starts to retreat from the area!



Miraculously, for all that firepower we showed, not a single life was lost, bewildering Hinoka and her troops.





In a show of mercy, we let her crew go too.



An unlikely ally has arrived to enlist; it was one that we just fought against. I began my talk of freedom and liberty that our country has believed in...



...and it has worked! Even better, we managed to win the heart of a defector from decadence dictatorship! From now on, Kaze shall work as an intelligence officer to tap into Hoshidon't communications!



We further advanced up to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia the Sages chambers.



Seeing my Yato, and a letter of authorization from General George Marshall, he has decided to assist us by bestowing me his powers, together with his nation's natural rubber, oil, and other stuff essential for building warships, tanks, guns, and you-name-its for the war!



Victory is ours in the Coral Sea! And it shall be in the entire Asia-Pacific!!!


Admiral Cracey: Onya, mate! Now lets go kick some Hoshidont ass!
Me: And off we shall go to To-ki-yo!

Yeah, capturing doesn't net you weapons whatsoever. I don't really use it that much anyway.

[blah the Prussian]

Ugh, I really wish you didn't bring up the whole no one died thing, that was the first point in Conquest when I put my DS down and slammed my head against the wall for roughly ten minutes. It would not be the last.

[Alastor15243]

Hey, I have a bit of a suggestion... It's getting a bit troublesome to read paragraphs that are getting to be 50% strikethroughs. Since you're doing the image editing maybe you should stick to just posting the stuff you'd usually strike through and not constantly correct yourself to canon. Your alternate reality is entertaining enough on its own.

[spoiler=Field Hospital Hijinks]

President Roosevelt sent a telegram to us congratulating our victory in the South Pacific. As it turned out, our victory over in the Coral Sea helped boost morale amongst the Aussie diggers when they just went through suffering from the bombings of Darwin and Townsville! President Curtin also delivered us some much needed Carlton Draught beer for us to enjoy.

So our next mission before returning home is to visit a field hospital near Guadalcanal to raise the morale of our troops. We were on the telephone to the President and George Marshall who asked us to make a stopover over there before we return home. Sure, I said, and we gallantly made our way to the islands where the Nohrians and Ylissans would set up airfields and the like.

Unfortunately, it looks like Elise caught a bad case of a tropical disease. Good thing we are on the way to that field hospital which is a vital point for our stationed soldiers. They even have some of the best surgeons from the Ivy League.

But just as we thought we made it to the base...Ryoma and his troops somehow succeeded in launching an amphibious assault, push back the Allied lines, and take the base hostage...blocking our way to the field hospital.

Ryoma: Kono hikokumin!! (You traitor!!) Ive looked everywhere for you!

He yelled as he armed his sword at me.

Myself: Geez, I dont have time to deal with your petty fascist ideals, you J**...er Hoshidont.

Ryoma: Well then, commit harakiri, and atone for your shame. Or you can watch your fake-sister die. Or I can kill you here and NOW!!! *klang!* Huh!?

Luckily, Doug MacArthur came in with the two regiments led by Peri (light tank) and Laslow (infantry) who made a detour for us, with thanks from Xander. I informed them of the dire illness Elise was under.

Myself: I'm sorry, Laslow. I know you're right, but I won't be able to smile until Elise is safe. We need to get her medical attention right away, but-

Laslow: What are you saying?! Has something happened to Lady Elise?

Myself: She's in bad shape, Laslow. She doesn't have much time. We need all the help we can- Hey! Wait! Dont be so haaaaasstyyyyyyyy!

They immediately started shooting at the Hoshidans before I could even finish talking. What enthusiasm. Peri in particular seems to enjoy the battle, with joyous yells of, "Oh yeay! Another headshot~!" and Aaaahhhhh, I love the smell of Hoshidont blood."

Uhhhh right...To arms, boys and girls!

[spoiler=Battle of the Base and Hospital]

All right, so we need to get all the steroids we can get. I immediately destroyed the two steroid pots near where we just started, with some of our units gaining +4 Def, while others gaining +4 Luck. Felicia, Beruka, and Niles headed over to the east to take up more steroids, which turned out to be HP replenishment that was redundant. All other of my troops headed towards the western end of the courtyard to engage the Hoshidans. As soon as we defeated the Naginata soldiers stationed near the steroids on Turn 3, we took another steroids, which were +2 Str/Def.

I then moved Beruka over west to break a second steroids jar, while Camilla breaking the third one (+4 Def). The Effie rushed double-time-Azura-style to the north to bait the Ninjas near the northern pavilion.

As it turned out, that was a big mistake that nearly costed Effie. Apart from failing to account for Saizos magic shuriken, and his follow-up, he also had the Pyrotechnic Skill further lowering Effies HP to 1.

So someone else had to finish the job. That turned to Arthur with Azura double-speeding and attack-stancing her husband, who the husband-and-wife emerged victorious by the end of Turn 5.

Then Arthur (and Azura) proceeded to vanquish Kagero with their Axes and Lances of Justice and Freedom. Meanwhile, Camilla, Sila, Peri, and Beruka took up another jar of steroids in the western colonnade, raising their Resistance a further 4 points.

Meanwhile, Mozu have just arrived over at the pavilion and shot an arrow to break another steroid jar, giving our +4 Resistance, while Effie took out the Ninja that was just behind the jar. The other remaining Ninja was taken out by Niles and his follow-up. We took our positions, and Camilla called in an aerial bombing (via her Dragon Vein) to destroy the rest of the jars. It was aptly timed too, because almost all of the enemies were poisoned and weakened.

Effie and Mozu took out the Snipers (Apocatheries) on the western entrance from the pavilion, and everyone else followed suit.

By Turn 10, we secured the northern foyer, and was just about to face Ryoma and his two infantries (Samurais).

I stood by at the right side of the corridor to prepare an escape if things got out of hand, while Niles snuck into the back rooms to get the treasures.

Camilla and Silas (attack stance) would take on Ryoma for me, which they did surprisingly well. Apart from Camilla being stronger than most other units I have, she also had support bonuses with Silas and myself.

Ryoma went back at Camilla (with myself backing her), but struggled to damage her, while we landed our shots.

The final blow came from Silas with Camillas backing as shown below.

By the end of this turn, everyone had the following stat boosts:

Myself: +2 Str, +6 Def

Felicia: +2 Str, +2 Skl, +4 Lck, +2 Def, +6 Res

Elise: Did not participate, sadly.

Silas: +4 Lck, +4 Def, +4 Res

Effie: +6 Def, +2 Res

Arthur: +6 Def, +6 Res

Odin: Did not participate, sadly.

Niles: +2 Str, +2 Skl, +2 Def, +2 Res

Azura: +2 Skl, +2 Def, +2 Res

Beruka: +2 Skl, +4 Lck, +4 Def, +6 Res

Selena: Did not participate, sadly.

Camilla: +2 Str, +2 Skl, +4 Def, +6 Res

Kaze: +4 Def

Laslow: +2 Skl, +4 Def, +2 Res

Peri: +2 Skl, +4 Luck, +4 Def, +6 Res

Final turn count: 13 turns

[spoiler=Retreat of the Hoshidan fleet]

And we succeeded in breaching the Ryoma Line! Panic ensued amongst the Hoshidont troops and they all started to retreat from the Field Hospital Grounds!

We rushed Elise to one of the doctors in hiding, and no sooner did he started to get to work.

After a long 12 hours, he succeeded in stabilizing Elises disease. He informed us that she should stay put for another 48 hours before we set sail back to the US mainland. Outside, a crowd of cheer erupts from the Allied troops as they witnessed, and recognised us as the victors of the previous battle...
