I've played a few skirmishes and battles in Valkyria Chronicles, and so far I've never gotten an A before. I know speed is a factor, but otherwise, even on battles which I feel went very quickly, I still get C and D grades.
How are battles graded in Valkyria Chronicles, and how can I improve my rank?
