(Since I can't review "A Captainless Squad" yet due to bugs stopping me to get the final chapters, I'll go with this)

I unlocked this at the end of a stream and, as per what I've been doing recently, doing offline recordings for the extra stuff (otherwise, this game would be MUCH longer to stream if you added all the extra missions, squad missions, replaying levels for A ranks, purchasing all upgrades and ect...) to take a load off my streaming time.

Despite this unlocking only after Chapter 10 (due to a character you get at that point), the story is set after the events of Chapter 4 where Squad E are given the task to find and eliminate a supply route along with finding the origin of where they're going, but things are immediately strange as the soldiers aren't interested in putting their lives on the line for whatever they're transporting to whereever.

This isn't spoilers, as I'm sure you can guess what's happening from the images and name of the DLC alone, but they find that this supply route that was barely guarded was to a holiday resort for the rich and the Ace soldiers in the battles appear to be holding onto swimwear...for whatever reason...which will lead to members of Squad E having their alternative costumes, in case you want to see Minerva in a string bikini for "immersion" reasons ;)

Ultimately what you get is some funny scenes with the characters either drooling over or appreciating each other in swim suits, hijinks and Raz getting punched for being a perv!

You have two battles. One very easy (the base is literally a short tank drive from your starting position) unless you want to take out the Aces to unlock more of this story and the outfits!

The second is a harder one where three of the members (Claude, Raz and Riley) are in their swimwear because "They don't have time to change" which makes sense when an enemy ambushes you like this, but is no less ridiculous.

The story is ultimately a bit of fun and like your typical obligatory beach episode, like one of the last episodes of Outlaw Star where they're on that sauna planet or many Anime shows where the characters end up enjoying a hot spring, for whatever reason.

I'm personally not too interested in using the outfits, but I still enjoyed my time with it both for the funny moments and also how the map has loads of little hiding places to explore and it's always good to get a nice new unique map with this.

Thankfully this is tied into the entire complete edition bundle so I was having a bit of a shock when I was looking for the price to see it say "£39.99" but in reality, that's the entire pack which comes with ALL the extra stuff that includes "A united front with Squad 7", "A Captainless Squad", "Advance Ops", "The Two Valkyria" and "Expert Level Skirmishes" the latter being a requirement for the last two squad stories. It was a fun DLC for what it was and you do gain a decal and few weapons for completing it.
