0.0.0) INTRODUCTION
===============================================================================
For the latest updates to this guide, skip to the version history.
If you are searching for a specific map, use the numbers provided above.
First, this is not the work of one person. It is a collective effort by a
great community, who is credited at the end of this document. If it was not
for their work, it would be years before this guide can be completed. If you
would like to join the discussion, visit the following link:

This guide covers the mechanics, campaign maps, and trial maps in Advance
Wars: Days of Ruin. There will be spoilers for the later campaign maps,
but other than that, I will attempt to avoid ruining the story whenever I can.
The Trial Maps are Advance Wars: Days of Ruin's replacement to War Room from
the previous games. You can no longer select your CO, and the scores may
exceed 300 points this time around. Coupled with the change in the application
of a commanding officer's abilities and powers, it can be a shock for the
veteran Advance Wars player.
A perfect day-to-day guide for all of the maps is impossible. The smaller
maps are more likely to have a guide available, but the larger ones will have
an opening strategy followed with an outline. I apologize in advance for some
of the later missions, but the AI simply refuses to cooperate and I do not have
the time to find every single possible movement the AI may follow in that map.
Besides, a good opening strategy is half the battle.
Each map will have two time limits listed. The first one is the limit for the
150-pt. speed score, even if it's impossible. The second one is the limit for
the 100-pt speed score. Your CO will be listed along with the enemy COs and
special conditions such as Fog of War or weather will be noted. A maximum
score for each map will be listed, because some maps cannot be completed with
the perfect 450-pts. This is because certain maps simply cannot be done
in the allotted time limit while others give you a set number of units,
limiting the technique score. Most of the campaign missions fall under this
category.
Many of the guides may need restarting because the AI may not cooperate.
If you do not have the patience to redo maps until the perfect storm of AI
movement occurs, you may want to steer clear of some of these strategies.
Do not e-mail me claiming that a listed guide does not work, because I have
tested these guides myself and I can confirm they do work given time and
persistence.
If a guide simply refuses to work, I suggest restarting the map entirely.
Any strategy that requires the destruction of certain units can be reloaded
from the previous save, since damage varies when a save is loaded, but enemy
movement is far less likely to change when a save is loaded. If you want to
try and change the RNG of this game, entering the options menu and fiddling
with Battle Animations seems to do that.
Since I've received an e-mail about "impossible movements," I want to clarify
that my movement will appear to go through mountain ranges, rivers, etc. I
believe that typing out instructions such as 2N 1E 3S appears cluttered, which
is why my movement simply aims for the target destination. If I receive more
e-mails about this, I may reconsider my decision.
Due to the nature of this FAQ, it is indeed possible that I may have made
mistakes in my transcription and/or reversed my directions. Feel free to send
me an e-mail detailing my mistake and I will update it as soon as possible.
If you would like to know my planned updates, check this list.

1.0.0) GAME MECHANICS
===============================================================================
1.1.0) UNIT RANKS
There are three ranks in AW:DoR, separated into Rank I, Rank II, and Veteran.
When a unit destroys an enemy unit, its rank increases. Two kills will give
the unit Rank II, and three kills will give the unit veteran status.
Rank I increase the unit's offense by 5%.
Rank II increases the unit's offense by 10%.
Veteran increases the unit's offense and defense by 20%.
Loading a CO into a unit automatically gives the unit Veteran status.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.2.0) COMMANDING OFFICER MECHANICS
The COs in the game will be covered in-depth later in the FAQ, but I want to
cover the specifics here for the damage formula.
In Campaign, you can use a CO in battle after mission 16. In order to use the
CO's abilities in battle, he or she must be loaded into a unit. This can only
be done if the unit is located on a production facility or the HQ and you can
pay 50% of the unit you want to load your CO in.
When a CO is loaded into a unit, the unit automatically gains Veteran status.
In addition to CO's ability, each unit under the CO zone gains 10% offense and
defense. This means Will's direct units are actually 130/110 under his zone.
This also means Tabitha's CO unit has 180/180 stats overall (50% from her CO
ability, 10% from the CO zone, and 20% from the Veteran status).
Once a CO is on the field, he or she can charge the CO power. The CO meter is
divided into 12 parts. For every 5 HP of damage dealt by a unit within the CO
zone, one part is charged. Once six parts are charged (30 HP of damage dealt),
the CO zone increases by 1. When twelve parts are charged (60 HP of damage
dealt), the CO zone is increased by 1 again and the option of using the CO
power is available.
Using a CO power will take that unit's turn. Once used, the CO zone extends to
all units under the CO's command for that turn only. Afterwards, the CO meter
is emptied and the CO zone reverts to its default range. Unlike previous
games, the CO meter does NOT increase in cost after use.
Counterattacks only charge the CO meter if the enemy unit is within the CO
zone. This appears to be a bug in the game. This means Tabitha cannot charge
her CO meter with counterattacks until she charges her meter halfway.
Note that the information pertaining to CO powers is completely irrelevant to
Forsythe and Caulder because those two do not have one to begin with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.3.0) TERRAIN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.4.0) DAMAGE FORMULA
The damage formula is different from the one used in Advance Wars 2: Black
Hole Rising and Advance Wars: Dual Strike.
Damage = Base Damage * (Total Offense / Total Defense) * (Current HP / 10)
For example, if a 10 HP Tabitha/Tank was attacking a Brenner/Tank on ruins...
Damage = 55% * ((100 + 20 + 10 + 50) / (100 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 10)) * (10 / 10)
= 55% * (180 / 160) * 1
= 55% * 1.125
= 61.875 rounds down to 61%
The game will always round down numbers.
After the damage calculation is done, there may be a chance of additional
damage in the form of luck. The game randomly adds 0 to 10% damage to the
damage reading.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.5.0) DAMAGE CHART
The damage values listed here are done without any CO, terrain bonus, and
only consider the main weapon used against the defender.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.6.0) WEATHER
There are three weather conditions in the game: snow, rain and sandstorm.
Snow decreases the movement of all units by 1.
Rain brings Fog of War and reduces the vision of all units to 1.
Sandstorm reduces the offense of all units by 30%.
Penny is immune to weather, but she is still affected by Fog of War during
rain. Instead, her units are unaffected by the vision penalty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.9.0) SCORING
Scoring in AW: DoR is divided into three categories: speed, power, and
technique. Depending on the sum of these three scores, you may receive one of
four ranks: S, A, B, or C.
S-rank: 300 - 450
A-rank: 250 - 299
B-rank: 200 - 249
C-rank: 0 - 199
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.9.1) SPEED
The speed score is straightforward. The faster you finish the map, the higher
the score.
Translucent Air has devised the two equations needed for the speed score.
The 100-150 pts. formula:
200 - "Day of Completion" * (100 / "Speed Limit" )
The sub 100 pts. formula:
100 - "Days Tardy" * ( 100 / ( 3 * "Speed Limit" ) )
"Day of Completion" = Day that mission was completed
"Speed Limit" = Singular day that 100 pts. can be achieved
"Days Tardy" = "Day of Completion" - "Speed Limit"
The 150-pt. speed mark is half that of the 100-pt. one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.9.2) POWER
Power depends on the amount of damage dealt and the number of attacks done.
This is the most complicated calculation, but Translucent Air has found the
algorithms.
The 100-150 pts. formula:
Floor { [ Total of Damage Percentages + ( Number of Enemies Destroyed * 100 ) ]
/ Number of Attacks }
The sub 100 pts. formula:
Floor { 2 * [ Total of Damage Percentages + ( Number of Enemies Destroyed *
100 ) ] / Number of Attacks } - 100
Total of Damage Percentages = Total of all damage percentages of allied attacks
made during all allied offensive turns
(whole numbers only)
Number of Enemies Destroyed = Number of enemies destroyed during all allied
offensive turns
Number of Attacks = Number of allied attacks made during all allied offensive
turns
Counterattacks do not affect the power score, but any attacks done by an allied
unit ARE factored in the calculations.
In summary, you must OHKO a unit in order to have a chance of earning 150
points in power. 2HKOs that deal more than 50% damage will earn 100 points,
while 3HKOs will reduce your power score.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.9.3) TECHNIQUE
Technique depends on the ratio of allied to enemy units. If you get a decimal,
round the value down.
The 100-150 pts. formula:
Floor { 62.5 * ( Magnitude of Enemy Army / Magnitude of Allied Army ) } + 50
The below 100 pts. formula:
floor { 125 * ( Magnitude of Enemy Army / Magnitude of Allied Army ) }
Magnitude of Enemy Army = Number of deployed enemy units -
Number of times enemy units were joined
Magnitude of Allied Army = Number of deployed allied units +
Number of allied units lost
For some reason, some missions assume there are four more enemy units than
the actual number. Examples include C4 - Moving On and C11 - A Storm Brews.
In short, the combination of your units, lost units, and enemy units joined
must not be more than 5/8 of the enemy's total forces.

2.0.1.) C1 - Days of Ruin
Author: ALAKTORN
Maximum Score: 362 pts
150-pt. time limit: 2 days
100-pt. time limit: 4 days
Player CO: Brenner
Enemy CO(s): The Beast
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: This mission introduces you to the basics of movement and combat.
You can access the tutorial anytime by entering the menu and
selecting Tutorials. Obtaining the perfect score on this map
requires a tremendous amount of luck because it relies on The Beast
making an attack that is very counter-intuitive to the normal
player. Personally, I've never seen it happen, but a lot of people
have verified the strategy, which is why it makes the guide.
Day 1:
- Move Bike 2E.
Day 2:
- Move Recon 1N 1E.
- Move Tank 1N 5E.
The Beast Day 2:
- His Infantry must attack your Tank.
- His Recon must attack your Recon.
Day 3:
- Move Tank 2S 2W and destroy enemy Recon from the east.
- Move Recon 1N 1E.
The Beast Day 3:
- His Bike must attack your Recon.
Day 4:
- Destroy enemy Bike with Tank from the south.
- Move Recon 1E and destroy enemy Infantry from the east.

Special Condition(s): None
Overview: This mission introduces you to terrain, Artillery, and the importance
of chokepoints. The perfect score requires a bit of luck to manage,
while the guide below details a straight-forward 400-pt guide.
Fortunately, this guide is one of the few that does not rely on saves
or reloads. However, the perfect score strategy requires that the
Infantry attacks your Tank, which is a rare event.
Day 1:
- Move Infantry 1S 1W.
- Move Tank 1E.
- Move Artillery 1E.
Day 2:
- Destroy enemy Recon with Artillery.
- Move Infantry 1S 1W.
Day 3:
- Destroy enemy Recon with Artillery.
- Move Infantry 1E and attack enemy Infantry from the south.
Day 4:
- Destroy enemy Infantry with Infantry from the south if available.
- Destroy enemy Tank with Artillery.
Day 5:
- Destroy enemy Bike with Artillery.

Maximum Score: 400 pts
150-pt. time limit: 2 days
100-pt. time limit: 5 days
Player CO: Brenner
Enemy CO(s): The Beast
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: This mission reinforces chokepoints in strategy and introduces the
concept of joining units. For the perfect score, we're going to
take advantage of those chokepoints.
One Tank will score all of the kills, allowing it veteran status.
This gives the unit the firepower needed to increase our power score,
while the Artillery destroys the rest of the units, giving it veteran
status and the power to destroy the last enemy Bike in one hit.
Unfortunately, increasing the power score means we will need saves
and reloads in order to score OHKOs on that 93% match-up.
Day 1:
- Move western Mech 2N and attack enemy Infantry from the west.
- Move western Tank 5N and destroy enemy Infantry from the south.
- Move remaining Mech 2N.
- Move remaining Tank 5N 1W.
- Move Artillery 4N 1E.
The Beast Day 1:
- He must attack your western Mech with his Infantry.
Day 2:
- Move eastern Tank 1W 3N and attack enemy Recon from the west.
- Destroy enemy Recon with Artillery.
- Destroy enemy Infantry with Tank from the south.
- Move western Mech 2E.
- Move remaining Mech 1N.
Day 3:
- Save here.
- Move southern Tank 1E 3N and DESTROY enemy Recon from the south. Reload if
this does not happen.
- Move remaining Tank 2N 2E and attack enemy Tank from the north.
- Destroy enemy Tank with Artillery.
- Move eastern Mech 1N 1E and attack enemy Artillery from the south.
- Move remaining Mech 1E.
Day 4:
- Destroy enemy Artillery with Artillery.
- Move eastern Mech 2W.
- Move remaining Mech 2N and join with wounded Mech.
- Move southern Tank 3E and destroy enemy Recon from the west.
Day 5:
- Destroy enemy eastern Bike with Artillery.
- Destroy enemy Bike with veteran Tank.

Player CO: Lin
Enemy CO(s): The Beast
Special Condition(s): Fog of War
Overview: This mission introduces you to the Flare and Fog of War. The most
difficult aspect of the perfect score is getting Team Bravo to
survive Day 1. In order for this to happen, the Infantry must have
7 HP and must keep a good portion of that 7 HP intact. Again, if
you have animations on, it makes it easier to keep track of things.
The improvement comes from minute improvements in the power score,
allowing five more points. However, it doesn't change the fact that
keeping Team Bravo alive is still dependent on the RNG.
Day 1:
- Fire Flare 4N of its position.
- Move Artillery 1N 1E.
- Move western Mech 2N.
- Move remaining Mech 2N.
- Move Recon 5N.
- Move southern Infantry 3N.
- Move Bike 2W 2N.
- Move northern Infantry 1S and attack enemy Mech from the north. In order to
have the best chance of earning the maximum score, your Infantry must have
7 HP.
- Move Tank 1W 5N and destroy enemy Mech from the south.
The Beast Day 1:
- Your northern Infantry must not die in order to have perfect technique.
- His Recon must attack your Recon.
- His northern Bike must attack your Recon.
- His remaining Bike must attack your southern Mech.
Day 2:
- If the above happened, save here.
- Move Tank 3N 1W and attack enemy Recon from the north. Enemy Recon must have
3 HP left.
- Move Recon 1S 2E.
- Destroy northern enemy Bike with Artillery.
- Destroy enemy Recon with northern Mech.
- Destroy remaining enemy Bike with Flare.
- Move wounded Mech 2N.
The Beast Day 2:
- Enemy Recon must suicide on wounded Mech. Good game.

Player CO: Brenner
Enemy CO(s): The Beast
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: By allowing the Infantry to survive along with the Mech, the
technique score can be increased to 126 pts. However, this requires
that the Infantry survives along with the Mech. By keeping those
two units as far from the action along with the use of defensive
cover, you can buy enough time for your Bike to sneak in and finish
the job.
Unfortunately, this does not change the amount of luck needed to
make this guide work. On the other hand, you have a new score to
show for your accomplishments.
Day 1:
- Move Infantry 2W 1S.
- Move Mech 1W.
- Move Bike 5E.

Overview: Placement of your pre-deployed units is key to finishing this map
with the highest score possible. The enemy War Tank is neutralized
by surrounding it with your two Dusters. The power score is provided
by a number of units, with the Anti-Air as the main source. Note
that you cannot save the easternmost Infantry, but it serves its
purpose as a distraction.
On Day 5, the enemy Anti-Air does not like to cooperate in its
movement. The guide assumes the best possible situation, but you
will have to make do if you cannot attack that unit from the
preferred position. Use the save on Day 4 to experiment with your
own movement. Note that it is still possible to finish in 7 days

Allied CO: Greyfield
Enemy CO(s): Gage
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: Your navy and Md Tank will provide the power score while a loaded

2.1.4) C14 - A Hero's Farewell
Author: DTaeKim
Maximum Score: 450 pts
150-pt. time limit: 10 days
100-pt. time limit: 20 days
Player CO: Brenner
Enemy CO(s): Forsythe
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: I salute you, Forsythe. The Tactics Room was the outline for this
D2D, which uses every unit at your disposal. They are essential in
obtaining the perfect score. Use your B-copters to manipulate
Forsythe's units while you move your units into position before
breaking the right meteorite.
Once the plasma clears, destroy the Rockets and move in with all of
your units. The Rockets remain behind in order to provide the final
attacks needed to provide the power score. Surround the airport and
factory with your units, protecting your Infantry in the process.
On the naval front, your Sub is used to wound the B-ship and destroy
the Carrier before revealing itself as bait for Forsythe's B-copter.
The Cruiser simply serves as bait for Forsythe's Cruiser. This part
is the most important of the entire guide. If the AI fails to follow
this, the capture is doomed to fail.
The most random part is Forsythe's Cruiser. On Day 4, it may attack
your Cruiser, which dooms the guide. Its behavior seems to guide the
actions of Forsythe's Seaplane. If his Cruiser ignores yours while
your Cruiser is being repaired, his Seaplane may attack your Bike,
allowing you to greet it with explosives to the face.
As long as your Missiles destroys either the T-copter or Seaplane,
you will earn 150 points in the power score assuming all else goes
according to plan. If you destroy both, the movement regarding the
Mech, southern B-copter, southern Infantry, and Rockets can be
ignored and they can simply retreat instead.
As a side note, since this D2D finishes in 9 days, you will fail to
see the conversation between Forsythe and Brenner on Day 10. If you
want to see it, save on Day 9, end your turn, and watch the dialogue.
Then you can reload your save and finish the map.

2.2.0) C20 - Waylon Flies Again
Author: N/A
Maximum Score: 438 pts
150-pt. time limit: 10 days
100-pt. time limit: 21 days
Player CO: Will
Enemy CO(s): Waylon
Special Condition(s): Allied with Tasha
Overview: This mission pits Will's skeleton forces against the considerable
air force commanded by Waylon. The opening strategy detailed here
holds off Waylon's air force and destroys a Duster, a B-copter, and
a Bomber if Waylon decides to ignore the Missile unit. You will
be forced to concede the central area and capture the nearby factory
and airport. Once the airport is captured, a Will/Fighter can be
built, which will force Waylon to retreat the remnants of his air
force. Take this opportunity to capture the neutral properties in
the western region and regain control of the center. Use the funds
to build a Tank force in the southern factory and Fighters/Bombers
in the airport.
Tasha's Missiles is key to surviving the onslaught. Waylon does not
like sending his units into its range unless he has a good reason,
like beating the crap out of your Will/Fighter. However, the
Will/Fighter can take two hits before falling, and this allows you
the opportunity to swat the rest of Waylon's air units out of the
sky. After the air force is all but wiped out, Tasha's units are
fodder and can be safely ignored.
Day 1:
- Move eastern Infantry 2W and begin capturing neutral factory.
- Move remaining Infantry 2W.
- Move eastern Mech 2W and begin capturing neutral airport.
- Move remaining Mech 2W.
- Move Bike 5S.
- Move Anti-Air 5S.
Day 2:
- Finish capturing neutral properties.
- Move Infantry 3W.
- Move Mech 1W 1S.
- Move Bike 2W and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move Anti-Air 2S 3W.
Day 3:
- Move eastern Infantry 3W.
- Move remaining Infantry 3W and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move northern Mech 2W.
- Move southern Mech 1W 1S and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move Bike 1S 4W.
- Move Anti-Air 3W 3N.
- Build Fighter in airport.
- Build Infantry in factory.
Waylon Day 3:
- It is suggested, but not mandatory, that Waylon attacks your Infantry instead
of Tasha's Missiles.
Day 4:
- Continue and/or finish capturing neutral city.
- Move Infantry 1N 2W and begin capturing neutral airport.
- Move Mech 1W 1S and begin capturing neutral factory.
- Move Bike 1N 4E and begin capturing neutral city.
- Load Will into Fighter and destroy the westernmost enemy air unit, which is
usually a Duster.
- Move Anti-Air 3S 3E.
- If wounded, move Infantry 3E and join with wounded Infantry. Else, move
Infantry 2N 1E.
- Build Infantry in factory.
Tasha Day 4:
- Tasha should destroy the Bomber with her Missiles.
- Tasha should destroy the B-copter with her Anti-Air.
Day 5:
- Continue and/or finish capturing neutral properties.
- Move Mech 2S.
- Move Anti-Air 3E 3N.
- Move Infantry 2N 1E.
- If Will/Fighter can destroy another air unit, do so. Else, keep it within
the range of Tasha's Missile.
Waylon's AI is too erratic to maintain the D2D. However, the stage is set for
the win.
Capture all of the neutral properties in the western area and center. When
everything is captured, Will should have 23 properties, which is enough to
build a decent force.
The key to winning this map is a balanced force. If you focus too much on
Bombers and Fighters, Waylon will begin to build Anti-Air units, making it
difficult to enter his territory. Build Tanks to remedy the situation.
You should keep two Fighters in the air at all times. You only need one or two
Bombers to force your way into Waylon's area, and keep building Tanks from
the southern factory.
Most of the time, Waylon builds a Duster in order to load himself into it the
following turn. Compensate for this by keeping your Anti-Air unit within range
of the Will/Fighter, because the AI loves to wipe out CO units.

Overview: This guide requires a considerable amount of luck, akin to the amount
required for Metro Map. Most of it is needed on Day 1. Therefore,
do not attempt this guide if you feel you lack the patience for a
number of reloads. On the other hand, that perfect score is very
tempting.
On Day 3, the movement of your western War Tank depends on the
position of the enemy. Keep that in mind.
On Day 4, the enemy movement ends up being random. This shouldn't
matter, as most of the luck-intensive part is over.
A 5-day strategy exists, but it requires even more luck than this
strategy. If there is sufficient demand, I will update this guide
with that D2D.

Player CO: Waylon
Enemy CO(s): Tasha, Gage, Lin
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: The updated version captures Gage's HQ in nine days. Tasha still has
the same idea: send two T-copters and four Infantry to her HQ,
allowing you to capture it in six days. Gage gets one loaded
T-copter and Duster because he leaves his HQ wide open for the kill.
After the two COs are taken out, finishing Lin should be a matter of
Bomber and Fighter spam.
It is recommended that you use a Fighter/Waylon instead of a
Bomber/Waylon because you will be using Waylon's CO power frequently
in order to protect your air force. When your air units take 2-3 HP
of damage after activating his CO power, you will indeed be WHALIN'.
Day 1:
- Build Infantry in easternmost factory.
- Build Infantry in next easternmost factory.
- Build T-copter in eastern airport.
Day 2:
- Load Infantry into T-Copter, move T-copter 5E 1N, and drop Infantry east.

- Build Infantry in next easternmost factory.
- Build T-copter in eastern airport.
Day 3:
- Move easternmost Infantry 3E.
- Load next easternmost Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 6E, and drop
Infantry east.
- Load Infantry into T-Copter, move T-copter 5E 1N, and drop Infantry east.
- Move remaining Infantry 3E.
- Build Infantry in easternmost factory.
- Build T-copter in eastern airport.
Day 4:
- Move easternmost Infantry 1E 2S.
- Load next easternmost Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 6E, and drop
Infantry north.
- Move next easternmost Infantry 3E.
- Load eastern Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 6E, and drop Infantry
north.
- Load remaining Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 6S, and drop Infantry
south.
Day 5:
- Begin capturing Tasha's HQ.
- Move easternmost T-copter 2N.
- Move easternmost Infantry 3S.
- Load next easternmost Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 5E, and drop
Infantry north.
- Load remaining Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 6S, and drop Infantry
north.
- Build Duster in eastern airport.
Day 6:
- Finish capturing Tasha's HQ.
- Move Duster 6S 2W.
- Load southernmost Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 5W 1N, and drop
Infantry east.
- You must build at least two Infantry near your HQ.
- Build remaining units at your discretion.
Day 7:
- Load southernmost Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 5S, and drop
Infantry west.
- Move Duster 4S 2W.
- Build units at your discretion.
Day 8:
- Begin capturing Gage's HQ.
- Move Duster 2W 6S.
- Build units at your discretion.
Day 9:
- Finish capturing Gage's HQ.
You can finish Lin at your leisure, but remember that the time limit is 25
days for the perfect speed score.
Load Waylon into a Duster. It has better movement than a Bomber and you want
to keep him in a unit that is not likely to attack every day because his CO
power is downright terrifying on this map. It gives your air units ridiculous
staying power, allowing you to fly your entire force into the enemy HQ and
basically shrug off any counterattack.
I like to use two loaded T-copters on Lin in case one Infantry gets damaged
on the drop-off or during the capture. You may be able to get away with one,
but it means you will need more air units to serve as shields.
You ought to keep one Fighter in the skies because Lin will build Dusters to
save her own skin.
Keep your Bombers alive and healthy. The more Veteran Bombers in your air
force, the better. Veteran Bomber + Waylon CO zone = 97% damage to enemy
Anti-Air on factory. This is important if you want to finish the map with as
few casualties as possible.

Player CO: Penny
Enemy CO(s): Isabella, Lin, Brenner
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: Control Penny as she takes on three members of the 12th Battalion in
this free-for-all. Take advantage of their in-fighting and capture
Brenner's HQ with two Dusters and two loaded T-copters. Use
these forces coupled with three Bombers to capture the remaining HQs.
There are a number of ways this strategy can fail, thanks to the fact
Lin and Isabella like to send Dusters and B-copters to the middle,
making this more difficult. At the very least, this guide ensures
that Brenner's HQ is yours in 11 days. Use your funds advantage to
pummel Isabella and Lin into submission.
For reference, Isabella is Blue, Lin is Yellow, and Brenner is Black.
Day 1:
- Build nothing.
Day 2:
- Build Duster in northern airport.
Day 3:
- Move Duster 8E.
- Build Duster in northern airport.
Day 4:
- Move eastern Duster 6E.
- Move remaining Duster 4E.

Day 5:
- Move eastern Duster 3W 3N.
- Move remaining Duster 5E 3N.
- Move northern T-copter 6E.
- Move southern T-copter 4E 2N.
Day 6:
- Attack Black Infantry with western Duster from the west.
- Destroy Black Infantry with eastern Duster from the east.
- Move eastern T-copter 2E 3N.
- Move remaining T-copter 3E 3N.
Day 7:
- If available, attack Black Infantry with western Duster, then destroy it with
the eastern Duster. If not, destroy Black T-copter with eastern Duster.
- Move eastern T-copter 3E 3N.
- Move remaining T-copter 2E 3N.
- Build Bomber in northern airport.
Day 8:
- If available, destroy Black T-copter with eastern Duster.
- Move eastern T-copter 4N.
- Move remaining T-copter 4N.
- Move Bomber 5E 2N.
- Build Infantry in both factories.
Enemy Day 8:
- If either Infantry is attacked, restart.
Day 9:
- Move Bomber 2E 3N and destroy enemy unit from the south.
- Move western Duster 2W 3N.
- Move remaining Duster north and west, out of enemy attack range.
- Load western Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 6S, and drop Infantry
south.
- Load eastern Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 6S, and drop Infantry
south.
- Build Bomber in northern airport.
Day 10:
- Begin capturing Brenner's HQ.
- Remaining unit movement is at your discretion.
Day 11:
- Finish capturing Brenner's HQ.
- Remaining unit movement is at your discretion.
- Build Bomber in the southern one of the two northeast airports.
Penny must be loaded in the Bomber built on day 11. This one is used to
destroy the Anti-Air units located near Lin's HQ. The other units can be used
to capture Isabella's HQ.
If you want the perfect score, you have only four days to capture the remaining
enemy HQs. Isabella's HQ can be captured by day 13, and Lin's HQ can be
captured by day 15.
If you're simply concerned with finishing the map, capturing Brenner's HQ
should provide enough funds to rout the other COs.

Special Condition(s): None
Overview: Rush Yellow's HQ with three loaded T-copters while one loaded
T-copter and two Dusters make their way to Blue's HQ. The key to
this walkthrough is the fact Blue will ignore you if you keep out
of his way. By doing so, he leaves his HQ undefended on Day 8.
In order to have the funds needed to build the Dusters, you will
need to capture some of the neutral properties around your starting
location. Since Yellow is specifically vulnerable on Day 7, you can
spend the first few days capturing them with your loaded T-copters.

Maximum Score: 450 pts
150-pt. time limit: 15 days
100-pt. time limit: 30 days
Player CO: Penny
Enemy CO(s): Isabella
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: Send one loaded Penny/Gunboat to Isabella's HQ while one completely
armed and loaded Carrier provides the Seaplanes to escort it.
Your power score will depend on the units Isabella drops near
the HQ, where you should build the counters to her units. Technique
is not a major factor. Feel free to lose some of your units, but
don't go overboard.
Isabella is random with her build order, especially on the northern
front. If she builds the B-ship in her eastern ports instead of her
northern port, it makes the map considerably easier to finish. It
is even better if she does not build a B-ship at all. This
seems to happen more often if Isabella builds her first Md Tank
next to her HQ instead of her northern factory.
There is no complete D2D because Isabella is very random with her
builds and unit movement. Please follow the outline at the end of
the D2D in order to understand how to improvise on this map.
Day 1:
- Build Infantry in southwest factory.
- Build Infantry in northeast factory.
- Build Rig in the middle factory.
- Build Infantry in the southernmost factory.
Day 2:
- Move southernmost Infantry 3E.
- Load southwest Infantry into Rig, move Rig 5E 1S, and drop Infantry east.
- Move remaining Infantry 2E 1S.
- Build Infantry in southwest factory.
- Build Infantry in northeast factory.
- Build Rig in the middle factory.
Isabella Day 2:
- Isabella must build Md Tank in one of her eastern factories.
Day 3:
- If the above happens, save here.
- Move southernmost Infantry 3E.
- Move easternmost Infantry 3E.
- Load eastern Infantry into Rig, move Rig 6E, and drop Infantry north.
- Load southwest Infantry into Rig, move Rig 5E 1S, and drop Infantry east.
- Move northern Infantry 2E 1S.
Day 4:
- Move southernmost Infantry 1E and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move easternmost Infantry 3N and begin capturing neutral port.
- Load next easternmost Infantry into eastern Rig, move Rig 2N, and drop
Infantry north.
- Move eastern Infantry 3E.
- Load remaining Infantry into Rig, move Rig 6E, and drop Infantry north.
Day 5:
- Finish capturing neutral properties. The newly captured Port will be
referred to as the eastern port.
- Move northern Infantry 3E and begin capturing neutral factory.
- Move middle Infantry 1W 1N and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move remaining Infantry 3E and begin capturing neutral city.
Day 6:
- Finish capturing neutral properties.
- Move southernmost Infantry 1E and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move northern Infantry 1W.
- Build Gunboat in eastern port.
Day 7:
- Finish capturing neutral city.
- Load Penny into Gunboat, load northern Infantry into Gunboat, and move
Gunboat 2N 5W.
- Build Carrier in northern port.
- Move southern Infantry 2E.
- Load middle Infantry into northern Rig, move Rig 4E 1S, and drop Infantry
south.
- Move remaining Infantry 1E 2S.
Day 8:
- Save here.
- Move Penny/Gunboat 6W 1N.
- Move Carrier 3N 2E.
- Move southern Infantry 2E and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move middle Infantry 2E and begin capturing neutral city.
- Move remaining Infantry 1E and begin capturing neutral city.
Day 9:
- Finish capturing neutral cities.
- Move Penny/Gunboat 7W 1N.
- Build Seaplane in Carrier.
As mentioned earlier, Isabella's actions and movement are difficult to
manipulate, making it difficult to provide a complete D2D. The outline below
ought to help complete the map.
Continue moving Penny/Gunboat towards Isabella's HQ. Thanks to the CO, your
Gunboat can survive one hit from any indirect unit, which increases its chances
of a successful drop. The earliest possible day you can drop the Infantry is
Day 12, which leaves one day for error if the landing site is not favorable.
The Seaplanes should protect the Infantry during the drop and capture. Only
attack Isabella's units if you have no other choice because it will make the
power score much more difficult to obtain.
On the home front, like I said in the overview, build the appropriate counters
to Isabella's drops. You need to chase away Isabella's Md Tank without
damaging it, so build Anti-Tanks to discourage it. Anti-Air units should be
deployed in order to maintain your power score.
If all else fails, experiment with the map from Day 8 onward. You never know
what can happen.

5.2.7) T27 - Time Map
Author: -STL-
Maximum Score: 448 pts
150-pt. time limit: 10 days
100-pt. time limit: 20 days
Player CO: Waylon
Enemy CO(s): Will, Penny, Tabitha
Special Condition(s): Fog of War
Overview: This is quite possibly one of the most random maps in the entire
game. It is likely that any two attempts will never go the same
way which means your score is a crapshoot. The basic idea is to
weaken Will and Tabitha, whose entire armies are comprised of War
Tanks. After the two of them are reduced to one or two War Tanks,
make the attempt to HQ capture them in order to avoid reducing your
power score and technique score.
Penny is a royal pain because she can launch silos as well.
Unfortunately, she is the best source of the power score, which
means you will have to do your best to keep your units as healthy
as possible while you search for her Mechs.
In the guide, Will is Blue, Penny is Yellow, and Tabitha is Black.
Please read it carefully, because your army is nothing but Mechs and
there are a lot of attempts to distinguish each other.
Day 1:
- Move southeastern Mech 1E and launch silo. Target the tile 1S of Will's HQ.
- Move the Mech 1W of your HQ 2N and launch silo. Target the tile 1S of
Will's HQ.
- Move the Mech 1S of your HQ 1W 1N and launch silo. Target the tile 1S of
Will's HQ.
- Move the Mech 1N 1W of your HQ 2N and destroy enemy War Tank from the south.
- Move western Mech 1E and launch silo. Target the tile 1S of Tabitha's HQ.
- Move southern Mech 1N 1W and launch silo. Target the tile 1S of
Tabitha's HQ
- Load CO into Mech, move Waylon/Mech 1E 1S and launch silo. Target the tile
1S of Tabitha's HQ.
Tabitha Day 1:
- Her War Tanks must join 1N 1W of her HQ.
- She must attack Penny's Mech from the south.
Day 2:
- If the above happens, save here.
- Move easternmost Mech 2E and launch silo. Target Will's HQ.
- Move Waylon/Mech 2E and launch silo. Target Will's HQ.
- Move eastern Mech 2E.
You want to start capturing Will's and Tabitha's HQ on Day 3. Tabitha's HQ
should be captured on Day 4 and Will's on Day 5.
In order to maximize technique, you cannot let Will, Penny, or Tabitha destroy
each other before you capture their HQ. In addition, you cannot let Penny
join more than once.
The power score is obtained by using your Waylon/Mech to OHKO Penny's Mechs.
This must be done twice in order to obtain a perfect power score.
Good luck.

Player CO: Isabella
Enemy CO(s): Brenner
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: When the AI cannot attack any of your units, it goes after a meteor
fragment instead. Attacking a meteor fragment with a Bike skews the
AI's targeting preferences in your favor, which makes the 5-day
capture possible. The power score can be obtained with the
Isabella/War Tank.
The Anti-Tank plays a vital role by destroying the southern meteor
fragment, clearing a path to the HQ. You will most likely lose both
of your units to the rampaging War Tanks, but it won't hurt your
technique score.
Day 1:
- Move Bike 1E 3N and attack meteor.
- Move Anti-Tank 1E.
Day 2:
- Load Isabella into War Tank, move Isabella/War Tank 2N 2E and attack Meteor.
- Attack southern meteor with Anti-Tank.
- Move Bike 4S.
Day 3:
- Save here.
- Destroy northern meteor with Anti-Tank.
- Move Isabella/War Tank 3E 1N and destroy Md Tank from the west.

Enemy CO(s): None
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: The first Trial Map unlocked also happens to be one of the more
difficult maps to net a high score. Due to the low number of enemy
units, you can only build one unit in order to maintain perfect
technique. Therefore, the only unit built is the Rockets. The power
score suffers tremendously thanks to the mandatory 2HKO of the enemy</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
Anti-Tank. As a result, your Tank will net all of the kills and keep
the power score as high as possible
Like Metro Map, the perfect score requires an insane amount of luck.
The first problem is getting the AI to cooperate on Day 1. If it
does not cooperate, you are better off restarting the map instead of
reloading saves. Next, you need one of the Infantry to survive with
8 HP, which thankfully is much easier to obtain. Day 9 requires the
most luck. Your veteran Tank must counterattack the enemy Anti-Tank
to 5 HP AND survive a Rocket hit. The odds are slim, to say the
least. Thankfully, 429 points is a lot easier to obtain. The guide
will separate on Day 9 to accomodate both strategies and rejoin on
Day 10 to finish, because they share the same finishing moves.

Player CO: Brenner
Enemy CO(s): Forsythe, Greyfield, Caulder
Special Condition(s): None
Overview: At first, facing Forsythe, Greyfield, and Caulder seems unfair.
However, you will soon realize that Forsythe and Caulder will fight
each other, leaving Greyfield to you. All is not well, because he
has a substantial army in between your HQ and his HQ, slowing your
capture phase.
Begin with a Brenner/Mech and War Tank to rout Greyfield's starting
forces, and then use your captured airport to spawn Bombers and
Fighters to finish Greyfield, Caulder, and Forsythe in that order.
You should capture Greyfield's HQ with a loaded T-copter and/or
loaded Rig. Next, capture Caulder's undefended HQ with the Bombers
and a loaded T-copter. Forsythe can be defeated in any manner you
desire, because he will offer little to no resistance thanks to
the beatdown by Caulder.
The perfect score depends the most on speed. As such, the faster
you can defeat Greyfield, the easier it becomes. The guide only
covers the opening strategy. The rest is up to you.
Day 1:
- Move northern Artillery 2S.
- Move remaining Artillery 1S 1W.
- Build Mech in both factories.
Day 2:
- Save here.
- Move wounded Artillery 1N of neutral factory.
- Join healthy Artillery with wounded Artillery.
- Load Brenner in eastern Mech, move Brenner/Mech 1E and attack enemy Bike.
It must have 3 HP afterwards.
- Move remaining Mech 1S 1E.
- Build War Tank in eastern factory.
Greyfield Day 2:
- Enemy wounded Bike must not suicide or retreat.
- Enemy Bike must attack Brenner/Mech from the south and wounded Bike must
join with it.
Day 3:
- If the above happens, save here.
- Move Artillery 2N.
- Move War Tank 3E and destroy enemy Bike from the west.
- Move Mech 1E and attack enemy Bike from the west.
- Move Brenner/Mech 1S 1E and destroy enemy Bike from the east.
- Build Bike in eastern factory.
- Build Artillery in western factory.
Greyfield Day 3:
- Neither Md Tank must attack your War Tank.
Day 4:
- If the above happens, save here.
- Move eastern Artillery 2N.
- Move War Tank 1S 1E and destroy enemy Bike from the south.
- Move Brenner/Mech 1N 1E.
- Move Mech 2E.
- Move Bike 4S 1E.
- Move remaining Artillery 4E.
- Build Rig in eastern factory.
- Build Mech in western factory.
Greyfield Day 4:
- Your Brenner/Mech must survive.
Day 5:
- If the above happens, save here.
- Destroy enemy Bike with Artillery.
- Move War Tank 1N 1E and destroy enemy Bike from the west.
- Load Mech into Rig and move Rig 4E.
- Move Brenner/Mech 1S 1E.
- Join wounded Mech with Brenner/Mech.
- Attack Infantry with remaining Artillery.
- Move Bike 2E 2S and begin capturing enemy port.
- Build Tank in both factories.
The following day, finish capturing the enemy port. You want to capture
the neutral airport as soon as possible. Build a Fighter to thwart Greyfield's
B-copter, then a T-copter, and then three Bombers. Your ground forces should
continue making their way towards Greyfield's HQ through the woods.
Let them capture the neutral base in the middle. Any unit built there is one
less unit you have to deal with when you are making your HQ capture attempt.
Your leftover forces after defeating Greyfield can be used to capture Caulder's
HQ, but you will need to build an expeditionary force to storm Forsythe's HQ.
Two War Tanks should be sent as the initial force, followed by two Bikes. If
Forsythe continues to stop your capture, replace one Bike with another War
Tank.

Overview: Using the five missile silos, pound Isabella's units into submission
with your soldiers. This guide does not provide the maximum score,
which is still unknown to this date. Instead, it grants a score of
423 or 424, depending on your patience.
There are three instances of luck in this run. The third instance
requires the most, which requires a substantial amount of blessing
by the RNG gods. Essentially, your wounded Mech must deal enough
chip damage in order to allow your level 2 Mech enough leeway to
destroy one of the last two units. If this becomes too frustrating,
destroy it with the Veteran Mech and destroy the final Infantry with
the level 2 Mech.

enough for the job, though more never hurts.
Generally, Brenner will fall before Lin. The first unit built out of Lin's
northern factory should be a War Tank. On the following day, put Will in the
War Tank. Build War Tanks, but keep an eye on the enemy unit count because
too many War Tanks will hurt your Technique score.
While storming Lin's HQ, watch for enemy indirect units. They can and will
slow down your advance.

no rush.

Overview: Send one Infantry across the mountains to the enemy HQ while the
northern forces prevent the enemy ground forces from advancing. Your
Missiles and Anti-Air units will provide the power score while the
Rockets serve as a distraction.
The B-copter is the odd unit out in your army. It serves no purpose,
and it is incredibly vulnerable to the enemy Fighters. Retreat it to
the northwest corner and ditch it there.
On a side note, this is the easiest mission if you want C-ranks. In
order to earn one, simply move the Infantry towards the enemy HQ and
leave all of your units alone. You will earn a zero in the power
score and your technique will take enough of a beating for the
C-rank.
Day 1:
- Move northern Infantry 2E.

===============================================================================
8.0.0) COMMANDING OFFICERS
===============================================================================
8.1.1) Will - 12th Battalion
Commander Info: A former Rubinelle military cadet who joined the 12th Battalion
after being rescued by Captain Brenner--whom he idolizes.
Quote: "Never give up!"
CO Zone: 2
CO Effect: Increases the offense of ground direct units by 20%. This includes
soldiers.
CO Power: Rally Cry - Increases the movement of ground direct units by 2.
How to unlock: Unlocked by default
Comments: The main CO of the game, Will comes with a decent set of abilities.
At first, Will appears to be a weaker Max, but on closer examination,
Will gets an offense bonus to his soldiers as well, which could make
a difference in Infantry battles. Rally Cry, in the right situation,
can turn the tide of battle. The CO zone of 2 allows Will's CO
effect to be usable as well.
Will doesn't really suffer from any weaknesses, but suffers from the
inability to boost his indirect units unlike the COs above him.
Artillery are considered the bread and butter unit of the game, which
is why Will is ranked in the middle.
If you choose to use Will, the Mech flood strategy works when
applicable. Very few COs can use the Mech flood as well as he does.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.1.2) Brenner - 12th Battalion
Commander Info: Captain of the 12th Battalion. He has an unshakable faith in
humanity's goodness, and will any in need.
Quote: "The survivors need our help."
CO Zone: 3
CO Effect: Increases the defense of all units by 20%.
CO Power: Reinforce - Heals 3 HP on all units
How to unlock: Unlocked by default
Comments: Brenner's CO effect and power work together very well. His CO effect
allows his units to survive and Reinforce extends their lifespan even
more. In addition, the CO zone of 3 allows Brenner to charge his
CO meter relatively quickly, which means Lifeline can be used more
often in battle. The extra HP could make a significant difference in
the long run.
Brenner is a solid CO choice on any map if you can't figure out a CO
to choose. He can adapt to the situation and weather the attack a
lot better than most COs. In addition, he can survie three hits
from most attacks, allowing him to retreat. Regardless, using him is
not a green light to become reckless with your units. He grants his
units additional defense, not invincibility.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.1.3) Lin - 12th Battalion
Commander Info: The 12th Battalion's unflappable second in command. She has
tremendous respect for Captain Brenner, although they disagree
often.
Quote: "Keep a cool head."
CO Zone: 1
CO Effect: Increases the offense and defense of all ground units by 20%.
CO Power: Scout - Increases the vision range of all ground units by 2 and
allows them to see into hidden terrain.
How to unlock: Unlocked by default
Comments: Lin is the Fog of War specialist. Scout is basically Enhanced Vision
from the previous Advance Wars games. As one might suspect, this
means Lin's CO power is completely useless outside of Fog of War.
Unlike AW1 Sonja, Lin is actually usable in non-Fog of War situations
because of her CO effect.
Despite her solid CO effect, the CO zone and an utterly lackluster
CO power keeps her down. Still, Lin remains an excellent CO choice
on ground maps. Her bonuses can offset Brenner's and Will's. In
addition, her defensive bonus allows her to survive two attacks as
opposed to one, allowing increased survivability. When you are using
Lin, you want to manipulate her CO zone in order to increase it to
zone 2 as soon as you can. Once this happens, maxing your CO zone
should be cake.
One possible strategy with Lin is loading her into a Md Tank, giving
a unit second only to a Tabitha/Md Tank in the early stages of a
match. If the opponent doesn't see it coming, the Lin/Md Tank can
dominate early, allowing a solid foothold in the opponent's area for
a long time until Artillery start appearing in the field.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.1.4) Isabella - 12th Battalion
Commander Info: Has no memory of her past. Rescued by Will, she has joined
the 12th Battalion--where she dreams of living in peace.
Quote: "I can't remember anything..."
CO Zone: 2
CO Effect: Increases the offense and defense of all units by 10%.
CO Power: Deep Strike - Increases the movement of all units by 2 and increases
the maximum range of indirect units by 2.
How to unlock: Unlocked by default
Comments: Thanks to Isabella's CO power, she is one of the best COs in the
game. Deep Strike is essentially Rally Cry and Longshot combined,
which is a serious blow to Will and Gage. Her CO effect may be
less than Will or Gage, but the sheer efficiency of her CO power
more than makes up the difference.
Her CO zone of 2 means her power does not charge as fast as the COs
with a zone of 3, but it comes enough to make a difference in a close
battle. As an Isabella user, you want to charge her CO meter in
order to use that CO power. While her CO effect isn't bad, Deep
Strike is simply too good to ignore.
Isabella is now considered the best CO in the game not named Caulder.
Her CO power is incredible because it can break Artillery stalemates,
which few COs can perform.
Using Isabella is somewhat discouraged online, but it happens. If
your opponent selects Isabella, you may want to pick her yourself or
go with Gage.

8.2.1) Tasha - Lazurian Army
Commander Info: A Lazurian soldier who burns with the desire to avenge her
late brother.
Quote: "I will have my revenge!"
CO Zone: 1
CO Effect: Increases the offense and the defense of air units by 40% and 20%
respectively.
CO Power: Sonic Boom - Increases the movement of air units by 2.
How to unlock: Complete C12 - History of Hate
Comments: Tasha is one of the two air specialists in the game, and she focuses
on offense. Unfortunately, due to the limited role of air units in
competitive play and small CO zone, Tasha is widely regarded as the
worst CO in the game. Unlike Waylon, who is redeemed slightly thanks
to Wingman, Sonic Boom is limited in usefulness. Tasha is better off
keeping the extended CO zone, but since air units are the only ones
who can benefit from it, Tasha suffers as a result.
If you use Tasha, treat her as an air-only Tabitha. A Tasha B-copter
is a very effective harassment unit, if limited because of its
vulnerability to anti-air units. She can OHKO soldier units and
deal serious damage to tank units. Forget about her CO power and
stick to the CO effect.
Tasha is considered the worst CO in the game out of her element. If
airports are present, Tasha becomes a viable CO, but you may be
better off with Waylon thanks to his better CO power and CO zone or
other COs. If you want to use Tasha, expect a difficult battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.2.2) Gage - Lazurian Army
Commander Info: A Lazurian soldier. He is a man of few words, but a consummate
professional.
Quote: "They don't pay me to think."
CO Zone: 2
CO Effect: Increase the offense and defense of naval and indirect units by 20%
and 10% respectively.
CO Power: Longshot - Increases the maximum range of indirect units by 2.
How to unlock: Complete C13 - Greyfield Strikes
Comments: Gage is the indirect specialist. He gains an offensive bonus with
naval units as well, which makes him a decent choice on maps with
ports.
While placing Gage in an indirect unit may seem to be the logical
option given his CO effect, it may be more prudent to place Gage in
a unit that is certain to be adjacent to indirect units in order to
charge his CO meter, such as Infantry or Mechs.
Like most of the COs, Gage's effectiveness depends on the map. The
more chokepoints and factories on the map, the easier it is for Gage
to use and protect his indirect units. A map that emphasizes direct
units will reduce his usefulness.
At this point, Gage is almost considered Isabella's equivalent.
Since his units do not benefit direct ground units, he deploys a
little slower than Isabella, but he does have stronger Artillery.
Gage's Artillery have the potential to OHKO Infantry, which makes
them very powerful. Couple it with his CO power, and it can be seen
why he is on par with Isabella.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.2.3) Forsythe - Lazurian Army
Commander: The Lazurian Army commander. He was called out of retirement to
defend his nation.
Quote: "I am a soldier, not a killer."
CO Zone: 5
CO Effect: Increases the offense and defense of all units by 10%.
CO Power: None
How to unlock: Complete C14 - A Hero's Farewell
Comments: Forsythe differentiates himself as one of the two COs who does not
have a CO power. In order to compensate, he boasts the largest
default CO zone in the game. While the CO effect seems inferior to
other COs with smaller CO zones, Forsythe can use his numbers of
slightly superior units to counter the opponent's units.
In addition, since Forsythe does not have a CO power to charge, he
can be loaded in nearly any unit he chooses because he does not need
to be on the battlefront. It is preferred that a mobile unit be
used for Forsythe so he can apply his CO effect to different fronts
depending on the situation. In addition, thanks to his universal
and blanket boost, Forsythe is one of the most versatile COs in the
game.
The famed Lazurian commander is a decent CO, but he suffers from the
fact he has no CO power. In order for Forsythe to win, he needs to
strike fast with his superior army while his opponent is running
around with the default CO zone. He also needs to be able to snipe
the CO unit when necessary, else the use of the opponent's CO power
may be enough to overwhelm Forsythe. As such, he ranks lower than
most of the 12th Batallion, but an experienced player may be able
to steal a few victories online.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.3.1) Waylon - New Rubinelle Army
Commander Info: A member of the Rubinelle Army who seeks only to fulfill his
own pleasures and desires.
Quote: "It's time for Waylon to do some whalin'!"
CO Zone: 2
CO Effect: Increases the offense and defense of air units by 20% and 40%
respectively.
CO Power: Wingman - Increases the defense of air units by 270%.
How to unlock: Complete C20 - Waylon Flies Again
Comments: Waylon is one of the two air specialists, and he focuses on defense.
He is considered the more popular choice because of his larger CO
zone and Wingman, which makes his air units resistant to anti-air
attacks. When airports are about, Waylon is a decent option because
he grants his air units better staying power. However, since air
units are regulated to a supporting role, it is best to avoid
deploying Waylon in a Fighter and Bomber. Like Tasha, the B-copter
is the best unit to deploy Waylon in, while a Duster is a option in
certain situations.
Wingman is the only CO power that grants a stat bonus. It increases
the defense of air units by an incredible margin, effectively
reducing damage by at least two-thirds. With this CO power, you can
afford to be a tad reckless with his air units, though they must be
retreated immediately if there is any danger.
If there are no airports, Waylon becomes a poor CO to use for obvious
reasons. Thanks to his limited usefulness, Waylon, along with Tasha,
are considered one of the worst COs in the game. With airports,
Waylon is a decent option for a CO thanks to his CO zone and insane
CO power.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.3.2) Greyfield - New Rubinelle Army
Commander Info: Ambitious and power hungry, he wants to destroy the Lazurian
Army and rule the world as its new king.
Quote: "I'll see you hanged for this!"
CO Zone: 3
CO Effect: Increases the offense and defense of naval units, seaplanes, and
copters by 10% and 40% respectively.
CO Power: Supply Chain - Restores the fuel, ammo, and materials for all units.
How to unlock: Complete C21 - Lin's Gambit
Comments: Greyfield is the dedicated naval CO in the game. Out of his element,
Greyfield is not a good CO to choose because of his CO effect. Once
naval units is in the mix, Greyfield becomes one of the best COs,
even overshadowing Tabitha. His CO effect gives his naval units
incredible staying power, which makes it difficult for other COs to
fight against.
You want to deploy Greyfield in a naval unit as soon as possible,
which makes the Gunboat an appealing option. Despite the inability
to attack more than once without resupplying, Greyfield can use his
CO zone to allow the other naval units to enter the fray and charge
his CO meter.
Obviously, the above points are moot if there is no port on the map.
The presence of airports may make Greyfield an option, but the strict
support role of air units makes it difficult to use Greyfield as an
viable option. Without ports, you may want to select a different CO.
Without ports, Greyfield is a subpar CO. With ports, Greyfield turns
into one of the best COs in the game. Be sure to examine the map
closely before selecting Greyfield as your CO.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.4.1) Penny - Intelligent Defense Systems
Commander Info: The youngest child of Dr. Caulder. Numerous experiments have
left her mind permanently shattered.
Quote: "Tee hee! Let's go, Mr. Bear!"
CO Zone: 3
CO Effect: Makes ALL units (even those outside her CO Zone) immune to weather.
CO Power: Stormfront - Changes the weather to snow, rain, or sandstorm for
three days.
How to unlock: Complete C24 - Crash Landing
Comments: Unlike Forsythe, who relies on his CO effect entirely, Penny relies
on her CO power in order to win battles. Her CO power is one of the
most powerful in the game, summoning one of the three weather effects
for three days. Coupled with Penny's CO zone of 3, it shouldn't be
difficult to charge.
The difficulty with Penny is the randomness of her power. It chooses
between the three weather effects and lasts for three days. Of the
three, the best weather effect is sandstorm thanks to the fact it
reduces enemy offense by 30%. Snow gives Penny first-strikes like
Adder because it reduces enemy movement by 1, while Rain is
considered the most difficult weather effect to work with because it
summons Fog of War. Even though it reduces enemy vision to 1, a
Penny player needs to be prepared for rain by producing units with
sufficient vision and movement.
Penny is considered a substandard CO, limited by the randomness of
her CO power and poor stats. None of her units can win a battle
against an opponent's unit in their CO zone. If you want a challenge
without using any of the specialist COs, use Penny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.4.2) Tabitha - Intelligent Defense Systems
Commander Info: Belongs to the private military company IDS. A daughter of
Dr. Caulder, she is extremely cruel and vindictive.
Quote: "Stupid weak people!"
CO Zone: 0
CO Effect: Increases the offense and defense of all units by 50%.
CO Power: Firestorm - Targets the greatest concentration of units by HP or
cost in a 3x3 diamond and deals 8 HP of damage.
How to unlock: Complete C25 - Lab Rats
Comments: Tabitha, on paper, appears to be a very strong CO. Her CO unit is
the most powerful unit in the game aside from Caulder boasting
180/180 stats (including veteran bonuses), which is enough to OHKO
any 55% match-up without any terrain stars. Her defense is high
enough to prevent most 2HKOs, which allows her to retreat and join
with another unit in order to return to the fray.
Her weakness is the size of her CO zone, which is the smallest in the
game. As such, her entire army is bland, allowing other COs to
overwhelm them with their larger zones and superior units. If the
opponent is allowed to increase their CO zone, Tabitha will be
hard-pressed to survive with her default CO zone.
If you are fighting Tabitha, it is suggested you increase the number
of indirect units in your army. These units do not have to fight
Tabitha face-to-face and can chip away at her HP, which reduces her
offensive and defensive ability. Tabitha thrives on the battlefront
because it allows her to charge her CO meter and she can punch a hole
through your lines.
Effective use of Tabitha involves harassing your opponent's capturing
Infantry early or deploying a very powerful unit early, like the Md
Tank. You need to increase her CO zone as soon as possible, because
fighting an entire army with one super-unit is not feasible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8.4.3) Caulder - Intelligent Defense Systems
Commander Info: The head of the private military contractor IDS. He seeks a
world where he is free to carry out his terrible experiments.
Quote: "Fascinating..."
CO Zone: 3
CO Effect: Increases the offense and defense of all units by 50% and heals all
units by 5 HP each day, assuming he has sufficient funds.
CO Power: None
How to unlock: Complete C26 - Sunrise
Comments: Caulder is broken. His stats are the same as Tabitha's, but with a
greater CO range and healing. His one weakness may be the fact that
he must spend funds to heal his units, but dealing with a possible
thirteen units with 160/160 stats and healing every turn, you would
be hard-pressed to defeat him in a fair battle. He does not have a
CO power either, but his CO effect is more than enough to compensate.
Luckily, there are only three instances in the game where you must
fight Caulder: the final campaign mission Sunrise and the trial maps
Comb Map and Missile.
Caulder is automatically banned in random Wi-Fi matches, but he can
be selected in friend code battles. If your friend picks Caulder, I
suggest picking Caulder in turn or find a new friend.
As one might guess, Caulder is an automatic ban in many competitive
battles.
