Strategy[]
The mission difficulty is based on when you decide to do this mission. The earliest time you can access this mission is during Chapter 10. Completing the mission much later will make this mission much easier due to having superior equipment.
Before you start the mission, you want to to make sure all leaders are deployed to get the extra CP. The mission can be completed by capturing the base to the left. This can be easily done in a single turn by doing a scout rush, however, you also want to get the extra reward by killing all enemy aces. Killing the aces will unlock swimsuits for your squadron, so you don't want to complete the mission the lazy way.
Start by using Riley, use the mortar, there is a scout behind the enemy camp, if this scout has a name, that is an ace.
Each time you kill an ace, the party will say they found a new equipment. Riley can also target another enemy ace located in the small hole north of the map. There is a Grenadier hiding in there. It might take a few shots to hit him. Of course, you can send out your troops to look for him.
This map is filled with a ton of enemy soldiers. If you're coming here at very low levels, Scout rushing is not an option, you will need to clear enemy troops first. A priority should be to kill the Grenadier on the base to the left but don't capture the base yet. You can use a scout to get there, but I would highly recommend you take out the shocktroopers stationed nearby before you can get there. If your level is high enough, you should use the Co-Op function with a leader to bring more scouts with you. Right after killing the Grenadier to the left side of the map. Use another soldier to climb the ladder northwest, avoid enemy crossfire until you reach the crates north. You can find an enemy ace hiding in near the crates.
The last ace is located in the very north center of the map. It is very dangerous to get there low level as you will encounter a tank, along the way. The approach is to take the route northeast until you can reach the tank. When you get past the tank, run to the north center, you will find a lancer, just behind the crates is an enemy ace. You can easily take out this ace with grenades, as the ace isn't going to be facing directly at you.
After you have killed all the ace, capture the base to your left to complete the mission. If you have trouble doing it, send Claude to take out the shocktroopers guarding the area. Then capture the base.

This mission continues right off the previous mission. Here, you will be deploying your forces in the base to the left from the previous mission. There is only one enemy ace for this mission, and killing him will unlock a new swimsuit for Minerva.
The enemy ace is hidden to the upper area, at the very left corner. But to get there, you will face a ton of crossfire from enemy tanks and a lot of soldiers. This can be easily by rushing there with command order "Defensive Boost" to raise your defense, but this strategy isn't viable until you have a pretty high level. So the best approach is to slowly move your forces up by using the upper left ladder and then take care of each tank and soldier on the way. If you manage to reach the ace, he is hiding near sandbags. So you might need to use a flamethrower or a grenade to take him out.
To complete the mission, you simply just need to capture the camp located in the north center of the map. You can actually send a scout there and rush through the process, but I would suggest you play it safe unless you come to this map at a very high level.
