One way to make the battle go your way is to take foot soldiers that have skills such as co-op, rapid fire, and chain mines, snipe. Some skills that you can use when they are your crew are shrapnel, incendiary, incendiary shrapnel and WP (white phosphorus). With no soldiers to shoot at you, you will only have to worry about damage from the AFW. Another sure fire way to get the soldiers off of your butt is to use Kinesato's Maximum Attack" Spray Fire". Use this skill when the enemies' soldiers are at the vanguard (front line) and Kinesato will target them all causing LOT'S of damage.
