Found a glitch (that I exploited the hell out of):
I gave James the JRPG Sword, and had the first person to join have the curious spell. I had james attack in the final battle, and then decided to use curious. I got to selecting the character to heal, and canceled. I was able to have James attack again. This can be done until the character attacks four times. Great for spamming with your strongest person.
I always purchase an engineer first, then a Mg, unless I'm taking hits. Then I go with the medic. I then get a sniper, and about 4 or 5 mortars. I put every one except the sniper in trenches, and put camnets over all the trenches.
Great start, plenty of potential.
Do a little more work on this, tweak a bit, and add a few things, like a defense-building system, and I can see this getting GOTW.
