Walkthrough

1
General Strategy: Use decoys on the main camp to distract the Valkyria while your main force advances north, east, and then south to reach the goal, eliminating key targets like the ace. Avoid running southeast directly due to heavy interception fire. Ensure units are under cover, especially near bunkers, to mitigate Grenadier and Valkyria fire.
2
Enemy Threats: Enemy lancers use mortar lances, and tanks have anti-infantry turrets, making them less dangerous at range. However, assault tanks have 2000 HP and 450 armor.
3
Turn 1 (3-Turn Clear): Deploy decoys (Rosetta, Neige, Zaiga) on the main camp. Connor eliminates the sniper and North Grenadier, then moves north. Simon heads north to eliminate the Northwest shock. Hanna destroys the Southwest tank and returns north. Rita uses direct command to move Hanna and Azusa north through a side passage.
4
Turn 2 (3-Turn Clear): Rita, Connor, and Azusa eliminate nearby infantry to capture the North camp. Hanna destroys the two tanks facing the main camp. Azusa moves towards the ace. Keep Rita's team under the North Camp bunker for safety.
5
Turn 3 (3-Turn Clear): Rita's team advances south, eliminating all opposition. Azusa kills the ace and joins Rita. All four units reach the goal.
6
Alternate Strategy (4-Turn Clear, No Reward Lance):
7
Turn 1: Similar to the 3-turn clear, but without the tier 3 Royal Lance, tank destruction is slower. Connor eliminates sniper/Grenadier, Simon targets Northwest shock. Rita moves Hanna and Azusa north.
8
Turn 2: Rita, Connor, and Azusa capture North camp. Azusa moves towards ace. Hanna destroys the nearby mortar tank and southeast tank, then retreats and redeploys to the main camp. Retreat units on the front deployment spots to avoid the advancing flamethrower tank. Hide Rita and Connor east of the North Camp bunker.
9
Turn 3: Hanna redeploys to the main camp and destroys the flamethrower tank. Simon moves to Rita to be carried by direct command.
10
Turn 4: The Southwest tank advances within range of Hanna under the main camp bunker. Rita's team (Rita, Simon, Connor, Azusa) reaches the goal.
11
Mission Access: "The Price of a Picnic" can be accessed after clearing chapter 9 but before chapter 10, using a save file from that point.

Tips

Areas shaded and dotted on chapter 9 and 15 maps are safe from Grenadier and Valkyria interception fire.
Assault tanks with 2000 HP and 450 armor can be destroyed in 2 command points with the tier 3 Royal Lance (1450 damage), or 3 command points with other lances.
Using decoys is a reliable way to control Valkyria movement and cost no command points.
Enemy lancers with mortar lances and tanks with anti-infantry turrets are less of a threat at long distances.
Retreating units like Hanna after destroying tanks is crucial in the 4-turn clear to avoid enemy advances and targeting.
Hiding key units like Rita and Connor under bunker cover can prevent them from being targeted by the boss.
The difference a single reward weapon can make is significant, potentially saving an entire turn in some missions.
