Translation of a conversation

Again, my apologies if you already understand these points and it's just not coming across in your English translations, but just to clarify a few nuances here.

>A: 。。。ふう。何ていうか、すごかったね
>...Hmm. You know, magnificient.

何ていうか is an expression used when you're searching for the right words.
Also, すごかったね is past tense, which isn't really coming through in your translation.

>B: ああ、あれが後光が差すっていうヤツだな
>Yeah, that is the thing (/person?) called the halo shines.

ヤツ is "thing" as Toritoribe-san points out, but nuance of this って(いう)ヤツ is close to the English "that's what you call..."
For another example, 「一石二鳥ってヤツだな」="That's what you call killing two birds with one stone."

>A: ああやって、困ってる人達の力に直接なれるのって、いいな。。。
>That way, it can become directly helpful for people who are trouble, so good...

Not sure why you have "it" as the subject here. This seems clearly to be referring to the same person they've been talking about.
"Being able to directly help troubled people like that...that's great, huh."

Note that this いいなぁ~ also carries a nuance of "Wow, if only I could do something like that too...(but I can't)."
 
A: おっと、忘れちゃいけない。砲台, 展開

B: ああ、やっぱり配備されてたか、電磁砲台

C: 厄介だな。。。先に潰す

I want to know the role of the particle か there.
Something like: ''Let's crush it first'' (?)
Context is: The player need to take down a fortress. The commander of the fortress appears and call out the automatic guns.
 
Yes, or, the speaker might be talking to himself. Both are possible.
 
Please correct this:
A: へえ。。。これがフリングホルニのブリッジですか。いやあ、大したもんだ
Wow... This is the bridge of Hringhorni? No, it's really something!
B: いいんですか、セニア様。ブリッジを見せて
Is it alright showing the bridge, Xenia-sama?
C: 見ただけじゃ、この艦の真価はわからないわよ。特に機密があるワケでもなし
No one can understand the true value of this ship just by looking. Especially there is no secret.
A: まあ、あったとしても私はメカ音痴ですから、何がどうなのかさっぱりわかりませんけどね
Well, even if there is, because I have no sense of mechanic, I completely don't understand at all.
D: 。。。妙に余裕があるじゃねぇか
...You have strange leeway.
A: いやあ、緊張感に欠けるってよく言われますよ
No, I often being said that I lack tension.
E: 捕虜返還の交渉は終わったのか?
Is the discussion of returning the prisoners finished?
F: 今詰めている所よ
Now we're working out.
A: まあ、私はともかく、サンドリーブ大尉は我が軍のアイドルですからね。ふっかけても大丈夫ですよ
Well, I'll tell you anyhow, lieutenant Sandriv is the idol of our army. It is fine to overcharge her.
F: 別に金額だけの問題じゃないんだけど。。。
It is not a problem of cash in particular...
 
There are a few misinterpretations, but the gist is correct.
 
セニアの?。。。こりゃ、気を付けた方がよそさうだな

This is ほうがよさそうだな(?)
 
If you are asking about the reading of 方, yes.
 
Does "they" refer to ほう and かた? Are you talking about the difference in meaning and grammatical function between ほう and かた? If so, I don't think "This is ほうがよさそうだな(?) " can express what you are asking. You should make clear what your question is.
 
Ah, now I finally realized that the initial one is よそさう. It's just a typo of よさそう.
 
ハンニバルのアルプス越え然り、ナリマサ・サッサのさらさら越え然り、意表を突くのは戦術の原点だ
How will you translate the bold part?
 
。。。君の弁舌と資金力は認めるが、こと戦略に関しては、実績がものを言う。信頼できるのか?
What is こと?
 
将軍から軍事顧問団の視察話を振られまして、気になって調べた結果、先日の情報を得たのですが。。。

なるほどね。。。
それを機密漏洩として、言いがかりをつけられた。。。

Context: They're talking about a general received punishment in court.

Is つけられた indirect passive, and the subject of the 2nd sentence is ''we''? It makes more sense to me if there is 2 separated subjects, no?
And how do you translate the bold part?

More detailed context is needed. Is 将軍 the general received punishment in court? Is the speaker of the first sentence is a member of the military assistance advisory group? What is relation between the first speaker and the general?
 
A: 待って。別情報確認。
ダスドレーシュ将軍が軍事法廷にかけられた。。。?

B: 軍事法廷? 初耳ですな、それは

A: 容疑は機密漏洩罪、しかし事実は確認されず、無罪。。。その後、将軍は第18兵站部隊付けに辞令

B: 事実上の左遷、ですな

A: 機密漏洩罪。。。か

C: あ!

A:?どうしたの?ファング

C: 俺は。。。ダスドレーシュ将軍からこの前の情報の手かがりを得ました

A: 手がかり?

C: 将軍から軍事顧問団の視察話を振られまして、気になって調べた結果、先日の情報を得たのですが。。。

A: なるほどね。。。
それを機密漏洩として、言いがかりをつけられた。。。

C is a member of a group called アンティラス. They entrusted him to make connection with the southern part of a foreign country and he just returned. ダスドレーシュ is the general of the south (yes according to the context before the south punished him). All of the chars spoke here is a member of アンティラス.

話を振られる means "to suggest (to investigate about the inspection of the military assistance advisory group or something)".
Back to your initial questions, yes, it's indirect passive, but the subject of 言いがかりをつけられた is the general. The speaker said from the viewpoint of the general.
 
いえ、お気になさらず。奥様の手作り弁当ですか?

おお、そうなんや。これがまた絶品でなぁ

おいしそうですね

。。。しゃあないな。手ぇ、出し

What is 手ぇ、出し? Another form of 手を出す maybe?

Kansai dialect of 手を出して Put out your hand (the speaker is going to give a side dish).
