I was wondering is the add-ons any good:
Selverias Mission "Behind Her Blue Flame"
Edy's Mission "Enter The Edy Detachment"

My copy will probably be here tuesday, and i was wondering if i should get them now have them from the start i play the game. Or get them when ive completed VC?

I got it last week, can't comment on the expansions. It's bloody hard though - should keep you busy for a good while before you need the DLC.

One question about the game though: what are scouts for? The only advantage they seem to have is a huge amount of APs, but they seem kinda pointless. Maybe I haven't got far enough for them to be of any use.

Scouts are epic at headshots once you upgrade their weapons, i always have one or two on my team as later on there are bosses that have so much armour headshots are the only viable way of dispatching them. Also when they reach elite status they get... something useful. You may as well keep alicia in the team as she gives you an extra action medal

Can't say i've tried the DLC, tbh all i want is trophy support for it! I know they don't have an effect on the storyline missions so you may as well wait until you've completed it.

Scouts are awesome, i mainly have scouts on my team, so about 4-5 scouts, 1 lancer, 1 sniper, 1 engi and 1 assault, the sheer reach of them makes up for the 5-7 shots they get.

I've seen some of the japanese players using a setup like that for the 'elite' difficulty skirmishes. It's really effective but they play so fast! They run out and aim instantly so the CPU doesn't have a chance to shoot at you.

i use my sniper 1st, 3 turns, for 3 kills, always target the most diffcult, like the lancers. But if its the skirmish then most can be done with just alicia, in 1 turn as its speed and not kills that give the best rating.
