---- 4 > INTRODUCTION TO ADVANCE WARS ----
------------------------------------------
The Advance Wars series that Americans have known to love
has a far longer history in Japan, where it originated.
FAMICOM WARS (1988) by Intelligent Systems - The first game
in the Wars series came on the Japanese version of the
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Famicom system. It
utilized a similar play style to Advance Wars but featured
just two armies, Red Star and Blue Moon, fewer maps, and
obviously not as good graphics. It was a Japan-only
release.
GAME BOY WARS (1991) by Intelligent Systems - Game Boy Wars
released as the second Wars game, and unlike Famicom Wars,
it uses an unusual diagonal grid system rather than a
straight up grid. It still has two armies and unlike Famicom
Wars, plays in black and white since Game Boy Color would
not be released for a good several years. It was a
Japan-only release.
GAME BOY WARS TURBO (1997) by Hudson Soft - Hudson Soft took
over the reigns of the Game Boy Wars series, and added a few
more maps to the original version. Like the first two games,
it was a Japan-only release.
GAME BOY WARS 2 (1998) by Hudson Soft - Hudson Soft creates
the Game Boy Wars series in color for the first time, with
the release of Game Boy Color. It was a Japan-only release.
SUPER FAMICOM WARS (1998) by Intelligent Systems - The most
well-known of the pre-Advance Wars games, it is the closest
to the Advance Wars series and features four armies, though
still no campaign mode, and was released on May 1st, 1998.
There are a lot of units, including many that don't have a
counterpart until the release of Advance Wars: Dual Strike
(like four types of tanks), and many of its maps are shown
on the Advance Wars game pack. It was a Japan-only release.
64 WARS by Hudson Soft - Hudson Soft originally wanted to
make a N64 version of its Game Boy Wars series and make it
compatible with Game Boy Wars 2 but the plan fell through
and the game was cancelled.
GAME BOY WARS 3 (2001) by Hudson Soft - Hudson Soft improves
the graphics of the Game Boy Wars series even further on the
Game Boy Color. It was a Japan-only release.
ADVANCE WARS (2001) by Intelligent Systems - Advance Wars
for the Game Boy Advance system went into stock in stores on
September 9th, 2001 in the United States and was released to
the public on September 11th, 2001, and was nearly pulled
off the shelves because of the terrorist attack on America
the same day. However, it did make it to the USA, and was
the first of the series from Japan to reach America. It
released in Europe four months later, on January 11th, 2002,
and was pulled off the shelves in Japan. It is the first to
include a campaign mode and follows the Orange Star Army as
they fight across Wars World to defend their homeland. Japan
would not get the game until Game Boy Wars Advance 1+2 was
released in 2004.
ADVANCE WARS 2: BLACK HOLE RISING (2003) by Intelligent
Systems - The Advance Wars sequel continues on Advance Wars'
storyline, as Black Hole returns to take revenge on the
Allied Nations and conquer their territories. It was
released on June 23rd, 2003 in the US and followed in Europe
on October 3rd of the same year. It was never released in
Japan because they did not get Advance Wars prior to this.
GAME BOY WARS ADVANCE 1+2 (2004) by Intelligent Systems -
Japan decided to pull off Advance Wars off their shelves on
September 12th, 2001 after the terrorist attacks on the
United States, and did not get Advance Wars or its sequel.
Three years later, on November 25th, 2004, Intelligent
Systems released a combination game of both Advance Wars and
Advance Wars 2, with both campaign modes intact. Users may
then switch between AW and AW2 modes. It was a Japan-only
release.
ADVANCE WARS: DUAL STRIKE (2005) by Intelligent Systems -
Known as Famicom Wars DS in Japan, AWDS features yet another
Black Hole invasion, with the Allied Nations trying to fight
the invaders. It was released on June 23rd, 2005 in Japan,
and will be released on August 22nd in the US, and September
30th in Europe. It will become the first game in the entire
series to be released universally.
The Advance Wars series is like chess played to a global
scale. With a compelling story, various commanding officers
and terrific music add to the reason why you'd want this
game. As the advisor of a fighting force, you maneuver
allied units into position, capture cities and bases, and
attack the enemy units while avoiding threats like the Black
Cannon and carrying your plan to eliminate the enemies.
Every unit under your control have weaknesses and strengths
with movement, hit points, attack restrictions, ammunition
and fuel that you must monitor often in order to defeat your
enemy. You can repair and supply battle units, deploy new
units, and use the special powers of your commanding
officer to gain the upper hand on the enemy. Every mission
is an epic struggle that requires a firm grasp of the battle
tactics to win.

----------------------------------------------
This section is composed of various mini-sections containing
basic information about the game. It goes from explanation
of the Mode Select Menu to info on the armies to the
different is calculated to explanation of what each score
(power/technique/speed) means. Reading it is a step closer
to becoming an Advance Wars: Dual Strike expert!
For advanced techniques, go to (m18).
-----------
What's New?
-----------
Since Advance Wars 2, the AI has gotten smarter and utilizes
its CO Powers better. It will also stop attacking transport
units indiscriminately, preferring to attack them only when
necessary. Also, the AI is now affected by Fog of War just
like the human player is.
----------------
Mode Select Menu
----------------
VS. Mode: The versus mode allows you to battle against your
friends and/or the computer. You will take turns using the
same DS, so you'll need to pass it around.
Link Mode: The linking mode allows you to battle against
your friends where you use a Link Cable to link up your 2-4
DS, and allows for quicker battles. If the other players do
not have AWDS, then they can play a few limited maps, but if
they have the full version game, anything can be played.
Campaign Mode: You can't go without this mode. Campaign mode
plays out the storyline of Advance Wars: Dual Strike, and
you can save up to three slots. If you beat Normal Campaign
mode, you will be able to access Hard Campaign mode. After
each mission, you will get coins in which you can buy maps
from Battle Maps.
War Room Mode: Want a challenge? War Room's got it, and AWDS
has brought brand new maps to the mix! From easy 1v1 to hard
1v3 maps, you will be tested, given a score, and given coins
for your efforts.
Combat Mode: Fight in real time, real time strategy style!
Survival Mode: Enough strategy for today? Try some puzzle
games!
- Money Survival Mode: You are given a limited amount of
funds and forced to defend yourself with the units you
make.
- Turn Limit Survival Mode: You're given a limit in the
number of turns you can move units. Defeat the enemy as soon
as you can.
- Time Limit Survival Mode: Similarly, you have a time
limit to destroy your enemies.
Design Room: Contains Design Maps and Design CO modes.
- Design Maps Mode: Design Maps mode lets you create your
own map, and as usual, there's a limit of 60 properties. The
maximum size the map can be is 20x30, like the old games.
Have fun! You have three save slots that you can also name.
Design Maps Controls:

certain square.

terrain.

Mission 5: Neverending War (by FoGo)
Your CO: Rachel
General Strategy: As Rachel points out, your going to want
to lure your opponents MD Tank off of their HQ. Send a Tank
to the Northeastern city with an
Artillery as back-up. Use the Artillery to weaken the MD
Tank and then finish it off the next turn. One you get rid
of the MD Tank it should be a walk in
the park to finish off your pre deployed opponent.
Day 1:
- Northern Mech 2N
- Build Tank from Northern base.
Day 2:
- Hit the Recon sitting on your city with Northern Mech.
- Move Tank 1N 4E
- Build Artillery from Northern base
- Build Infantry from Southern base
Day 3:
- Move Tank onto Northern City to attack Anti-Air
- Move Northern Mech 1S
- Move Artillery 1N 4E
- Move Southern Infantry 3E
- Build Tank from Northern base
Day 4:
- Hit MD Tank with Artillery.
- Hit the weakened Anti-air with your Northern Mech
- Move Tank from Northern base 1N 5E
- Send Southern Infantry 2E onto your city.
- Move Southern Mech 2S
- Build Infantry from Southern base.
Day 5:
- Finish MD Tank with Artillery
- Move full HP Tank 2E 1S and attack the Mech capturing the
neutral city.
- Move Northern Mech 2N
- Move Infantry 2N to capture the neutral base.
- Move Southern Mech 2E and hit the Tank.
- Send Infantry from your base to capture the neutral city
Northeast of it.
- Build tank from Nothern Base.
From here on out things will have gotten too random to
follow the day by day guide. In the North your going to want
to continue advancing tanks into Black Hole's territory.
Make sure to hit the units that can hurt you the most first,
even if it means waiting a turn to kill some of his weaker
units. Save the Artillery for last. If your Super CO power
charges, by all means use it. It'll speed matters up
greatly.
In the South, continue to capture the base with your injured
Infantry. Use your Mech to finish off his Tank, and then
move it North to capture the neutral city (you may not have
a chance to finish capturing it before the end of the
level).

Your CO: Colin
Be forewarned that the AI is improved and may not follow
this day to day guide perfectly, but if you do the steps on
day one, for the most part the level will be easy, and you
can just go off the basic idea of the strategy, being to

Mission 7: Fog Rolls In (by FoGo)
Day 1:
- Move your Infantry 2E to reveal Koal's Artillery. Proceed
to attack it with your Recon and your Battle Copter. Move
your indirect units as far forward along the road as
possible, and then do the same with your non-infantry direct
units.
- Finally load your Mech into your APC and move it 3N 3E.
Day 2:
- Send your Battle Copter to attack the BH Tank from the
Eastern side. You should reveal an APC just North of where
you attack from.
- Your Rocket should be able to move into two forests. Send
it into the Northern one.
- If you failed to kill his Artillery, it will have most
likely moved into the forest south of where it started.
Reveal it with your own Artillery and then crush it with
your Anti-air.
- Move your recon 1N.
- Move your APC just North of your Rocket.
- Move your Tank just above the BH recon and attack it.
- Move your Infantry East to capture the neutral city.
- If you didn't use your Artillery and your Anti-air to
finish BH's Artillery, move your Anti-air to finish the
enemy's Recon. Move you Artillery just behind it.
Day 3:
- Use your Rocket to finish the BH Tank.
- Send your Artillery North so that it can fire on the
Lander in the reef.
- Use your Tank to hit the APC revealed by your Battle
Copter.
- Move your Battle Copter 2E 3N 1E and attack the Mech
capturing your city. You should reveal an Artillery in the
forest North of your Battle Copter.
- Move Recon 3N 1E to reveal the Lander hidden in the reef.
- Move your Anti-air just under your Recon.
- Move your APC into the forest 5E.
- Finish capturing the city with your Infantry.
Day 4, and for the rest of the mission:
Make sure you finish off BH's Tank, as it is their last
direct unit capable of causing significant damage. You
should also be able to kill off one of his Infantry and at
least damage his Lander with your Rocket. That leaves him
with an Artillery, two injured transportation units, and an
Infantry. You should be able to finish his Artillery and
Infantry on day 5. On Day 6, all you need to do is mop up a
couple transports, and your done.
-----
Mission 8: Tag Battle (by FoGo)
Your CO: Max
Day 1:
- Build 2 Infantry
Day 2:

then move the APC 1E 5S and drop the Infantry onto the
neutral base.
- Finish capturing base with Infantry.
- Build APC from base just East of your HQ.
Day 5:
- Start capturing the base near the Piperunner.
- Finish Piperunner with Tank.
- Move the Infantry near your HQ 1S 1W to start capturing
the neutral city.
- Move newly built APC 6E, and then move the Infantry that
just finished capturing the Eastern base into it.
- Move your other APC 2N 3E.
- Build an Infantry from the base 2E of your HQ.
- Build an Infantry from the base farthest East.
Day 6:
- Finish capturing city 2S of your HQ.
- Finish capturing base near the pipes.
- Move Infantry built from the base just East of your HQ 3S
into the APC, and move the APC onto the bridge, unloading
the Infantry onto the neutral base.
- Move Tank by the pipes 5E.
- Move Infantry just built from the base farthest East 2E 1N
to capture the neutral city.
- Move APC 6S and unload infantry inside it onto the neutral
airport.

Day 7:
- Start capturing airport
- Start capturing neutral base with injured Infantry.
- Finish capturing City in the Northeast.
- Move newly built Infantry on the Northeastern base
Northwest to capture neutral city.

- Build Infantry from Northeastern base.
Day 8 and beyond:
From Day 8 on out things should be pretty easy going. Finish
capturing the airport, and get Infantry in position to
capture the other two cities sharing the island with the
airport on the next day. Advance Tanks down the West side of
the map while you advance B-Copters down the East side of
the maps. Continue to capture the base in the middle.
Try and get your Tanks in position so that you can use them
to block off Black Hole's Western base by turn 10. On turn
11 you should be able to block off his Eastern Base as well.
Black Hole will use their tag power on Day 11, but they will
have so few units by then that it shouldn't make a
difference. Finish off your opponents remaining troops on
Day 12 for the win.

Mission 9: Victory or Death! (by The Roses Thorn)
Suggested COs: Jake/Max
Pick Jake first so he gets control of the bottom map.
The AI follows a basically set pattern, but you really only
need the first day or 2 to be the same. After that just
follow the general strategy listed below (don’t worry, it’s
user-friendly).
Day 1:
• Send all air units except for the fighter 2N of the HQ to
the top screen.
• Move the bottom mech 2E
• Move the top mech 1W 1S and begin to capture the city
• Move both infantry 2E and begin to capture the properties
at those locations.
• Move the tank 2E
Day 2:
• Finish capturing everything, and move the bottom mech 1E
and start to capture that.
• Move tank 2N 1E and attack recon for 6
• Move fighter 2N 4E
After that attack the AA with your tank, continue to
capture, build an AA at your bottom base. Use your fighter
to kill the north B-copter. Use the newly built AA gun to
kill the southern b-copter that kills your mech. Send the
fighter to the top screen. Build a bomber, and get it within
14 spaces of the black crystal, but be careful not to enter
the fighter, AA gun, or black ark’s range. When the black
ark has been destroyed, Max will come down and have almost
all of his power meter filled. Swap to max and fill his
meter the rest of the way. As soon as it’s full, swap to
Jake. The next turn, use your Tag and move the bomber
towards the black crystal with Jake. Swap to Max who uses
his 190% attack power to obliterate the crystal. You should
be able to finish in 9 days with perfect power and technique
for the 300 point S rank.

Mission 10: Black Boats Ahoy! (by The Roses Thorn)
Suggested COs: Max/Jake
Select Max first so he gets the first turn.
Day 1:
• Move recon 6E and attack artillery for 4
• Move bottom mech 1S and load onto the APC.
• Move lander 1N.
• Load APC onto lander
• Move sub 5E and dive.
• Move northern tank 5E
• Move other tank 5E
• Move AA 5E
• Move artillery 5E
• Move mech 1E
• Move northern infantry 2E
• Move southern infantry 3E
Basically what you want to do, is load the mech in an APC on
the lander, and send them at the island with the HQ. You
want to capture the first neutral city (nearest you) as it
contains a lab map for black boats (which are ever so
handy). Aside from that, use your sub to take out 1 black
boat, then the b-ship, then the other black boat to
obliterate Kindle’s navy. If she’s about to use her COP get
off of cities, if she’s saving up for her SCOP you want to
kill as much stuff as possible beforehand. Have Max go first
by selecting him first, and attack the artillery with the
recon, and then advance on her position. Your forces are
larger and should be able to take over that island, just
don’t let her attack you from a city. That 140% offense
hurts. When the lander gets to the island unload the APC,
and then move the APC and drop the mech off right in front
of the artillery, he can’t attack the mech, only the APC,
and the mech will proceed to kill the artillery.
-----
Mission 11: The Long March (by The Roses Thorn)
Suggested COs: Jake/Rachel Sasha/Colin
You do want to select the COs in that order so they get the
turns first, so select Jake and Sasha first for their
respective teams. This map relies heavily on Sasha’s use of
Market Crash. You need to delay or stop their tag for as
long as possible. That means don’t always do as much damage
as you possibly can with Jake/Rachel.
Day 1: OS
• Rocket attacks Neotank for 6 damage.
• Artillery attacks black boat for 6 damage
• Artillery kills black boat
• Rocket sinks sub
• Move recon on city 2S onto the forest
• Move recon 1N 3E onto forest
• Move infantry 1N onto mountain
• Move mech 1W and load onto APC
• Move APC 1N 4E
• Move tank 2N 4E
• Move Md. Tank 2S 3E
• Move Artillery 1S 2E
• Swap to Rachel
Day 1: BM
• Western B-chip does 5 to full health Neotank
• Other B-ship does 5 to Md. Tank
• Infantry 1S 2E and capture
• Build infantry at eastern base
• Move sub 4N 1E and dive
From here on out be very careful. You do not under any
circumstances want to give them their tag break without
charging Market crash at the same time. You might want to
take out the tank at 2hp though, as you will be able to get
Market Crash next turn after what is shown above, I didn’t
in my game though, so its fine, just stop attacking as OS a
bit early. Send that APC with the tank escort and the recon
spotter to the neutral cities and bases and capture a base.
You will use this APC and mech to capture the lab. You will
want to reveal as much of their army as possible for Sasha
to hit with b-ships, and you will want to kill the black
boat with your sub, which in turn will get killed letting
you use market crash again later. If it dies while you
aren’t gain9ing anything from your power being active, no
worries, it doesn’t hurt a thing. Also, do not concentrate
your damage, spread it out amongst the big units, doing 5 to
both neotanks or 5 to both Md.s. gets them to join them,
effectively cutting down 1 neotank from their army, but also
forcing them to not be able to move that neotank that turn.
Try and get the OS tag break, as even if you just got hit by
theirs after slipping as BM, if you’ve still got a good
amount of your units left, Rachel’s SCOP can decimate their
forces for Jake to clean up, and you can still win. There is
artillery on the lab, and a tank nearby.
Try and win around turn 8 for the 300pt. S rank.

Mission 12: Lightning Strikes (by The Rose's Thorn)
Suggested COs: Rachel/Max
TURN AUTO CO OFF. IT’S UNDER THE INTEL OPTION.
Day by Day:
Day 1: Rachel
• Move AA 1S 1W and send it to the top screen.
• Move mech 2W
• Build APC at base by HQ
• Build infantry at other base
Day 1: Max
• Move infantry 1S and load onto APC
• Move eastern recon 1SMove AA 1S 1E
• Move tank that’s below artillery 1E
• Move artillery 1S 1W
• Move recon 1S 1E
Day 2: Rachel
• Move mech 2W
• Move APC 4N
• Move infantry 1N 1E and capture city
• Build an artillery at the base that is NOT by your HQ
Day 2: Max
• Do nothing
Day 3: Rachel
• Kill infantry with artillery.
• Continue to capture
• Move mech 2N and load onto APC
• Move APC 5N and unload N
• Build an infantry at the base by your HQ
Day 3: Max
• Do nothing
Day 4: Rachel
• Finish capturing the city
• Move artillery 1E
• Move mech 1N and capture airport
• Move infantry 3N
• Move APC 3S
• Build AA gun at base by HQ
Day 4: Max
• Do nothing
Day 5: Rachel
• If he moved the infantry down and started to capture,
don’t touch the artillery and move the infantry 1W 2N, if he
moved towards you, blow that sucka outta the water with the
art followed by the infantry.
• Move the AA 1S 1E and send it to the top map
• Finish capturing with the mech
• Move the 10 hp infantry 3N and load onto the APC
• Build a tank at the base that is NOT next to your HQ
• Move APC 3E
Day 5: Max
• Move 7hp recon 2S 1E and join
• Take out the top 2 b-copters with AA guns
• Join the 3 hp tank in the west with the one in the east
(move the western one)
• Move artillery 1E
From here on out the AI plays differently, in general, what
you want to do is this:
Use the artillery to hold off any mechs or infantry that try
to come over the river (it’s probably been hit with a
missile strike, and is at 7 hp. Deal with the mech, build an
infantry at that base to help out, then get it on the base
to heal. Capture the city with the mech first before using
the missile. Build lots of tanks and b-copters. Also, you
want them to be regular old tanks, not Md. Tanks, and not
Neotanks. I cannot stress that enough. You will want a few
more tanks than b-copters but you will need a lot of tanks
and b-copters…again build a lot of tanks, and 2-3 b-copters.
The tanks will deal with AA and other ground units, and the
b-copters will help with ground units a bit more. Don’t
build too many more tanks than b-copters though, or he’ll
build b-copters of his own, which will be hard to impossible
to destroy while winning on the turn Max comes down with the
tag break. If he builds 1 or 2 b-copters you should be okay.
If he starts to build b-copters, build your own, they’ll be
what can deal with them on the tag break. Do not build any
more AA for the top front, your goal up there is to
eliminate the copters, and keep the APC with the infantry in
it alive. Move the APC down to his HQ after the b-copters
are dead, and capture it. During that on the bottom front
you should use your tanks and b-copters to take the center
island. You should have the center island, and an infantry
or mech on 2 of the missiles there a few turns before the
time Max captures Sensei’s HQ.
You do have a bunch of tanks and b-copters by now, right?
Well here we go. Once Max comes down (you should have taken
the center island from the tanks and b-copters a few turns
ago and are within striking distance of his units) use your
tag break. Following that, launch the missiles you can with
infantry. Now he should have taken a ton of damage, Kill as
much as you can and swap over to max who should be able to
kill the last few easily.
Try and finish around day 13 for the 300 point S rank (it’s
not as hard as it seems, just have a good mix of tanks and
b-copters that’ll be able to mop up their super weakened
forces the turn you get the tag break)

Mission 13: Frozen Fortress (by The Roses Thorn)
Suggested COs: (OS) Sensei/Grimm (BM) Colin/Sasha
No skills used
NOTE: This map contains the lab map for black bombs. It’s in
the NE city that’s blocked off by mountains, so it shouldn’t
be too hard to get it without harassment.
The reasoning behind the teams are as such (will help you
understand the general strategy if you read it). You should
choose the COs in the order listed so that the proper COs
get the first turn.
Sensei/Grimm: When you capture the 3 communication towers in
your area, Grimm’s rockets become 160/80 day to day, and can
fire on Jugger/Kindle’s bases, crippling or OHKOing anything
they touch. Sensei gives you stronger infantry at the very
beginning, faster transports, and the 1 star tag affinity
for 5% luck on Grimm.
Colin/Sasha: The increased income/cheaper units allow you to
build a decent force despite having few properties. Add in
GR and MC you can out produce them and prevent them from
tagging, leaving them with little to do (already can’t build
from the rockets of Grimm/Sensei). The 3 star tag affinity
also gives them a nice 15% luck boost, which is quite
noticeable.
Day by Day:
Day 1: OS
• Build 3 infantry
Day 1: BM
• Build 2 infantry
Day 2: OS
• Take your 2 further back infantry and start to capture the
cities that are within their reach.
• Move the middle infantry 1S 2E and start to capture the
base
• Build 3 infantry
Day 2: BM
• Move northern infantry 1N and begin to capture.
• Move southern infantry 1N 2W and begin to capture.
• Build 2 infantry
• Swap to Sasha
Day 3: OS
• Continue capturing with everything
• Move middle infantry out (no specifics as the infantry
will hit you on varying sides) and attack the infantry
taking it down to 2, and you to 9.
• Move top infantry 1S 2E
• Move remaining infantry 1S 2E
• Build infantry at top base
• Build APC at middle base.
Day 3: BM
• Finish capturing both cities.
• Move northern infantry 3W
• Move southern infantry 3N
• Swap back to Colin.
Day 4: OS
• Continue capturing neutral base
• Move northern most infantry 2S and load onto APC
• Move APC 2S 5E and unload E
• Basically continue to capture out that starting section
• Build an APC at the western base, and an infantry at the
middle one.
Day 4: BM
• Move southern infantry 2W 1N and begin to capture the
airport
• Move easternmost infantry 3W and begin to capture the
city
• Move your western of the 2 infantry left 1W
• Move the remaining infantry 2N
• Build a tank at the top base
Day 5: OS
• Continue capturing everywhere, and move your infantry
except for the newly built one so that they can capture next
turn, or start capturing.
• Move your Eastern APC such that it can load an infantry
next turn to carry over to the Eastern side of the map.
• Move your remaining infantry (newly built) 2W and load it
onto the APC
• Move APC 5S
Day 5: BM
• Continue capturing everywhere.
• Move your northern infantry 2N and begin to capture that
base
• Move infantry on mountain 1W and join it into the
capturing infantry.
• Move your tank 1N 5W and attack the capturing infantry
• Build an Md. Tank at the top base
• Swap to Sasha
Ok, from here on out the AI starts to do other things. So
general strategy time! You want to finish capturing up OS’s
starting position, and then place rockets at the tips that
can fire on BH’s 2 bases. Get your first rocket by taking
the 6 hp infantry off the base, but within range of one of
your further back ones and joining them for the small boost
to cash you need. Then build the rocket at the newly
captured base. Once you have the rockets swap to Grimm so he
can use the dandy 160/80 units to shred anything they try
and build. You also want to take the NE base and the SW base
to build more units to support BM. Meanwhile, as Colin/Sasha
you want to take that infantry that’s going to capture the
base to march up and take the city that’s blocked off by
mountains from BH’s position. It contains the lab map for
black bombs. You have their bases covered with rocket fire
from Grimm, and you can deny them a tag with Market Crash.
Just eliminate what remains of BH by making good use of Md.
Tanks, and the support given by Grimm. If you manage to take
the airport, a bomber can help, though often more Md. Tanks
work just as well if not better.
You should win around day 11 for the 300 point S rank
(remember to use Md. Tanks, support BM with tanks from the
NE and SW bases, and to eliminate anything they try to build
with rocket fire and it will be a breeze).

Mission 14: Lash’s Test (by The Roses Thorn)
Suggested COs: Jake/Rachel
Once again, select them in that order so Jake goes first.
Day by Day:
Day 1:
• Move B-copter 1W 5N
• Move Neotank 6W
• Move infantry 2E and load onto the APC
• Move APC with infantry 6W and drop W
• Move APC 6W
• Move bottom mech 1S 1W and load onto APC
• Move top mech 2W
• Move AA 4W 2N
• Move Western tank 4W 1N
• Move remaining tank 4W 1N
• Move top Md. Tank 4W
• Move remaining Md. Tank 3W 2N
• Move Western Artillery 5W
• Move top artillery 5W
• Move remaining artillery 5W
• Move rocket 1N 4W
Day 2:
• Move B-copter 1W 2N and attack the pipe seam
• Move infantry 1S 2W and begin to capture the tower.
• Move APC with mech in it 1S 5W and unload W.
• Move Western tank 4W 2N
• Move remaining tank 6 W
• Move top Md. Tank 1N 4W
• Move rocket 4W 1N
• Move Neotank 2W 4N
• Move remaining Md. Tank 2W 3N
• Move AA 3W 2N and attack the pipe seam
• Move remaining APC 2E 4N
• Move mech 1N 1W
• Move Eastern artillery 2W 3N
• Move top artillery 1W 4N
• Move remaining artillery 3N
Once again the AI starts to play differently here, so on to
the general strategy! This map should actually be pretty
easy. Keep busting at the eastern pipe seam with the
b-copter, and you’ll eventually get the black bombs out, get
an APC ready to refuel them. You want to blow the pipe seams
in the west too to let those ones out…and get a nifty 10
points for each one you destroy. Once you have both towers,
your forces are about even, with them being slightly
stronger, but you have 6 freaking black bombs. Just mass
detonate on them and clean up the mess. Use your indirect
both to deal with the first wave of attackers, and to
quickly destroy the seams. Beat Down (Jake’s COP) is your
friend as it gives him both increased movement, but
increased range, and extra damage on plains. After they’ve
been weakened with the black bomb, most to 1 health, just
about anything kills them and cleaning up shouldn’t be too
much of an issue, just attack as much as you can. The key to
the mission is getting all 6 black bombs before their fuel
runs out, but the ones on the mainland shouldn’t be a
problem, and the ones on the island can be freed in time by
the b-copter. Just be sure to have an APC ready for when you
free the island ones.
If you try and destroy all the pipe seams for extra points
you should finish around day 8 for the 320 point S rank (5
extra per pipe seam).

Mission 15: Verdant Hills (by The Roses Thorn)
Suggested COs: (OS) Colin/Rachel (BM) Grimm/Sensei
Select the COs in that order so the right COs get the first
turn.
There are 2 ways to win with the 300 point S rank, both will
be covered later, they have the same day to day start off.
Day by day:
Day 1: OS
• Build 2 infantry
• Move recon 3S
• Move tank 4S
Day 1: BM
• Move NW mech 1N onto the mountain
• Move NE mech 1N 1W onto the mountain
• Move NE rocket 1W into the forest
• Move furthest east in the SE mech 2N onto the mountain
• Kill Javier’s eastern artillery with fire from both of
your artillery
• Move western most mech 1N onto the mountain
• Attack his AA gun for 5 with your artillery
• Move remaining mech in the SW corner 2W
• Move SW APC 2N 1W
• Attack Javier’s western Md. Tank with your western rocket
for 3
• Attack Javier’s eastern Md. Tank with your eastern rocket
for 3
• Move remaining SE mech 2E
• Move SE APC 4N
• Move SE recon 1N 4W
Day 2: OS
• Move western infantry 2W and begin to capture
• Move eastern infantry 2E and begin to capture
• Move recon 1S
Day 2: BM
Day by day no longer works.
Starting at Day 2 BM for general strategy: Attack as much as
you can with your indirects.
Focus on high defense units first as when they go back to
Javier these will be a pain to deal with. Also, go after her
own indirects as a high priority too, as only they can get
at your indirects right now, and as Grimm your units aren’t
too hardy. Move both extreme 1 side mechs (far east far
west) 2N and into their respective APCs which will carry
them up to the tower and drop them off 1 space below them.
You want to capture these as they lower Javier’s stats by
20/20 and give you +20/0, making for a nice power change. Go
ahead and move the SW mech 2E and attack Jess’s AA if she
moved it to that space, as it will most likely turn out 8-2
in your favor. After that turn, the strategy becomes this.
Build a Md. Tank with Colin, and swap to Rachel, who will be
playing OS for the rest of the game. Her SCOP if charged
will cut Jess/Javier’s units down to nothing rapidly.
Well before Rachel’s SCOP should be charged (probably the
turn right after their first tag break), you should send a
mech towards their HQ, most likely it’s the mech on the SE
side. Also, using Grimm’s SCOP you can do a ton of damage to
the GE army with those indirects when they are mostly in a
position to attack their units.
Try and constantly be building units as Rachel, maybe a tank
and an infantry, or even 2 infantry, this will help your
technique immensely (previously I tried using a
Rachel/Sensei team for technique with his powers and that
turned out nicely with another 300 point S rank, but the 5%
luck addition to Grimm and fast Md. Tank with Colin is too
much more of an advantage). Indirects also help for her when
she can get her Md. Tank on the city.
You should either destroy all units or capture their HQ
around day 8, you may never get Rachel’s SCOP from all the
damage inflicted by Grimm’s beefed up indirects, and in
fact, it is likely you won’t, but so long as you keep
building with her and clog that city with her Md. Tank you
should be good technique wise. Speed isn’t really an issue
for this mission, and neither is power, as you don’t really
need to destroy that many on one turn.
300 point S rank

Mission 16: Snow Hunters (by The Rose's Thorn)
Suggested COs: Grimm/Sensei
NOTE: This map contains the lab map for the piperunner. To
get access to the piperunner mission you must capture the
city on the SE island.
Day by day:
Day 1:
• Move missile 1N 2W
• Move lander 3W 1N
• Move mech 1S 1E and load it onto the lander
• Rocket on HQ attacks western pipe seam for 71%
• Move eastern tank 3W and attack pipe seam for 19%
• Remaining rocket attacks northern pipe seam for 71%
• Move remaining tank 5N and attack pipe seam for 19%
• Move western Md. Tank 2N 2W
• Move western AA 3W
• Move eastern AA 5W 1N and attack pipe seam for 13%
• Move remaining Md. Tank 3W 2N
• Move northern artillery 1W 4N
• Move remaining artillery 4N
• Move infantry 1N 1E and load onto the APC
• Move APC 4S 2W
Day 2:
• Destroy the western and northern pipes with the tanks that
are next to them
• Destroy the bomber with your missiles
• Move lander 4S 2E
• Move northern AA 3S 2W and kill the infantry
• Move APC 4W and drop S
• Move northern artillery 1E 1N
• Move both rockets 3N
• Move remaining artillery 1E 3N
• Move remaining AA 1S 2W
• Move eastern Md. Tank 1N 3W</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
• Move remaining Md. Tank 3N 1W and attack pipe seam for
71%
• Move mech 1N
Day 3:
• Use missiles to kill the b-copter N of your AAs.
• Kill the remaining b-copter with the AA 1E of it
• Move southern Md. Tank 5W
• Launch missile silo centered on Hawke’s western Neotank
• Blow up the infantry above the neutral base with a
rocket.
• Move remaining AA 1N 5W and attack the mini cannon for
13%
• Move lander 4E (not 5…I do mean 4)
• Move western tank 2W 2N and blow up the pipe seam
• Move remaining Md. Tank 2S 1W
• Move remaining tank 1S 1E
From here on out what you want to do is this: Pummel all of
Hawke’s units that try and get through the north pipe seam.
Move the lander 1E and unload E, you want to take the city,
not the tower, but the city over the next 2 days. Continue
to destroy the mini cannons, but don’t destroy the last one
until you’ve captured that city and gotten the lab map, and
you should go ahead and use your COP or SCOP on a turn that
you’ll be able to destroy a lot of stuff for power, but be
very careful you don’t give Hawke another black wave or you
won’t be able to capture the lab map in time.
I suggest taking out the tank with the artillery and a mech,
then moving the tank in front of the mech or your indirects
will take a beating, and you want to be dishing it out, not
the other way around.
You should win around day 6 with a 345 point S rank.

Mission 17: Spiral Garden (by The Rose's Thorn)
Suggested COs: Sensei/Javier

For the most part day by day ends here. You want to finish
off the piperunners. Load the mech onto the APC and carry it
up toe the neutral city. Use AA and the tanks on the left to
take out that side, and support it with another tank
soon…you do not want to lose that neutral city. Use
artillery to deal with the Md. Tank on the right. Also build
an artillery on the inside of the pipe base. Later just
destroy random pipe seams with that artillery for extra
points. Don’t use megatanks on this mission; they’re too
slow. Keep taking cities. If you take all the neutral cities
except for the base up in the NE corner, and the BH ones
that are on your side of the pipe you will only need to take
1 of her base ones, which will be rather easy when you use a
tag break, not to mention all those mechs will help your
technique if you got careless. Transports are very important
for this map. Once you capture the airport, launch the
missile next to it, and then create a t-copter so you can
take the BH city quickly, and when you take the SW city move
the APC so that it’s 3 spaces above it so you can load the
infantry onto it, and carry it to the next BH city in one
turn. She will often take out the infantry capturing the BH
city on the east side with an artillery. To counter this
build an infantry at the base you have just inside the
pipes, and get a t-copter 3 spaces from it. Carry the
infantry to within 3 spaces of the city. That way when you
use your tag break to capture the one in her area you can
also take the piped in city. Sometimes she will ignore it
and move on, and sometimes she’ll stay and destroy the
infantry. If she does the latter you are screwed. A bomber
does a great job of breaking killing whatever unit is on the

BH Day 3:

- Attack a whole lot of units, including destruction of OS

General Strategy (Days 4-11) : By this point, things will
have gotten random. Keep taking cities and destroying the
units near you that you've already discovered. You'll find
that facing BM about 5 squares to the left of the HQ are two
medium tanks, a mech, an APC, and an Oozium, so watch out
and stay at the tower or left of it and prepare your
indirects before you attack those. You should also capture
the tower while you're preparing, with the bottom mech.
Place the BM recon on the forest square to the 1S 1E of the
tower to spot the bottom medium tank's range, because if
you're unaware it can also hit your OS units when you
advance. You'll find little resistance to the south: just a
mech and a recon, but be aware that the northern BH units
can hit OS units at the bottom too.
When you feel like you're ready, advance! You now have far
more units, and far stronger units, than Kindle/Lash has.
You can lure a medium tank or two with an extremely injured
unit, since you'll need to lose a unit anyway. Advance those
tanks and indirects, and finish off those last two mechs,
APCs, and medium tanks. Lure the Oozium south so you can
destroy it with a combined tank force from all sides. It'll
be around where the mountain range ends, near the HQ. You'll
also find a Neotank on the HQ and another Neotank nearby, so
use your big tanks for those after you take out the Oozium.
Don't forget that you can use the missiles and/or your CO
powers if you feel that it's necessary, but I didn't need
it. Take Black Hole out by 11 days with brute force at the
end!

and fire the two missiles nearby to keep their HPs low, and
keep capturing the towers. Just keeping attack. HP is on
your side, even if unit number isn't, so advance by taking
out everything in your area, plus use your
Megatank/bomber/Neotank/medium tank/stealth to attack the
black crystals. Use Super CO Powers when you get them too;
don't wait for your Tag powers. You should get them by Day

- Move mech to the right of that 1E
- Move bottom artillery 1N
- Move right artillery 2S 1W
- Move mech above that 2N
BH Day 1:
- Units move
General Strategy beyond Day 1 (Days 2-11): Finish capturing
the towers and help take the neutral airport with the inner
ring APC. Continue attacking units inside the volcanic
center with indirects. Move rockets up towards the volcanic
middle on Day 2 so you can have better aim against the other
units, and move right artillery 2S 1E this turn to aim for
outer ring BH units. As long as you can aim at anything in
the outer ring with a rocket or artillery from the inner
ring, do so. Aim missiles at the megatank and surrounding
units. Make sure to hit as many Neotanks/medium tanks along
with it as you can. The point is to try to kill as many
units from the outside as you can with indirects (inside is
second priority, since there are less units). Tag Power from
winning the top front should help sweep up the remaining
units, since Black Hole can't build very fast.
Bottom Front, Outer Ring:
- Top mech 1N to capture city
- Top infantry 1S to capture city
- Bottom infantry 2E to capture city
- Bottom mech 1N 1W to capture city
- Move APC 4N 2W
- Send all other units through the HQ to the top screen
BH Day 1:
- Units move
General Strategy beyond Day 1 (Days 2-11): Finish capturing
cities and prepare to take the neutral base. After you grab
the airport, build as many bombers as you can to eliminate
the eastern front and the center. Continue destroying units
within the inner ring. Keep building bombers till you take
out the entire front! Tag Power from winning the top front
should help.
Top Front:
- Start capturing towers with the two mechs
- Move all other units towards the volcano but not within
the volcanic square area
General Strategy Day 1 and beyond: Advance battle copters
and A-Air, and the rocket to near the mountain range. Use
the mechs to capture the towers, and do not advance to the
volcanic center. Let the battle copters and Neotank get into
your range. They'll arrive Day 2, so then you send in your
A-Air and battle copters to wipe out most of the BH air
force in one day. You might also want to surround the
Neotank so it doesn't run from your rocket's range. After
you rid the Neotank and battle copters, take out the mechs
in the middle OUTSIDE of the plains in the middle (use shoal
or cities so you won't get hit by the volcano), and then
march towards the rocket. After you take it out (about Day
10), you've got a Tag Power down below!
That was easy!
