Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Mmm, this community seems dead, but I'll post this just to see if anyone is still kicking around :)

I just started playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (my first FE game) and boy and I getting my arse served to me.

I have been trying to recruit Joshua to my team, but before I get to him, I either A) Die or B) Kill him by accident.

I have never played a tactical role-playing game before so learning how to position my troops and NOT LET THEM DIE has been fun, but a struggle. I always have to restart the chapter, because I just can't stand to see one of my pixelated troops die. I have noticed that I am slowly getting better though. It just takes time!

Anyone else have stories about FE they want to share (like how much better than me they are? Hahaha.

Edit: Thanks so much for everyone's help! I managed to recruit Joshua and make it to Chapter 6 so far (= )

Side note: Anyone looking forward to playing FE: Awakening?

Awakening is going to rule the first part of 2013 for me. My advice on FE8 in general: Keep Franz away from everything. The game hates him and wants to kill him.

He does die a lot ;>; (Him and Ross for some reason.) I thought it was just me sucking, haha. Thanks for the tip!
