-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the end of 2001, near the GameBoy Advance's release, we were blessed
with the creation known as Advance Wars. It was an amazing game; we spent
countless hours playing such magnificent masterpiece. It brought portable
gaming to such levels; we didn't believe so many things could fit into
that tiny little cartridge. It was a Gamer's heaven.
Dealing with over 20 different units, and 10 different Commanding
Officers (CO), while still maintaining some kind of balance is more than
impressive. Aside from using most elements of real warfare, Advance Wars
also had amazing Replay Value; Multiplayer was one of the deepest ever
seen in the GameBoy Advance, even by today's standards. It became an
instant classic, showing the GameBoy Advance's sheer power.
And later, we were blessed again, with the release of Advance Wars 2:
Black Hole rising. With eight new COs, one new unit, and whole ton of new
maps, Advance Wars 2 didn't fail to impress either. Featuring all the
advantages of the first, and even more department than before, Advance
Wars 2 quickly won a place in our hearts. It perfected what was already
perfect.
With a cast of amazing COs, filled with variety, Advance Wars 2 made us
happy. And among of all those COs, we found our dear child; An old man by
the name of Sensei. Sensei's true heart and experience touched us; but
more than anything we were really moved by his laziness. We just loved
him. We had to create something in his honor.
And that's why this document is here, to honor this smart old man that
runs by the name of Sensei. We hope you enjoy reading it, as much as we
enjoyed making it. Maybe we can make you use Sensei like there's no
tomorrow.

:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. [#3#] CO Sensei [#3#] .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Sensei
Army: Yellow Comet
A former paratrooper rumored to have been quite the CO in his days.
Hit: Lazy, rainy days
Miss: Busy Malls
Skill: Powerful Infantry and high transport movement range. Superior
firepower for Copters, but weak vs. Naval and Vehicle units.
Power Meter: ooOOOO
CO Power: Copter Command - Attack Copter firepower increased. Infantry
units with 9 HP appear in all allied cities, ready to be moved.
Super CO Power: Airborne Assault - Attack Copter firepower increased.
Mech units with 9 HP appear in all allied cities, ready to be moved.
Winning Phrase: 'Hm hm hmmm... I've still got what it takes!'
How to unlock: Finish the Yellow Comet campaign, and buy Kanbei or Sonja.
---
Sensei, for those of you that don't know, is Japanese for teacher. And
that's what Sensei is - a teacher. He is slightly difficult to use
correctly, and he even might seem weak at first; ah, what mundane minds
of those who believe Sensei is weak.
Sensei is a Yellow Comet CO and a paratrooper as well. Or at least, he
used to be one. As of now, he is old and lazy, but his CO skills remain
powerful. He'd just like to relax and enjoy the rest of his days, but he
is forced to go back to his War days, to save his homeland.
He taught Kanbei the ways of a Samurai, hence his name Sensei. On his
best days, he was rumored to be an invincible CO all through Wars World.
His reputation has declined, but his ability hasn't... And he shows it to
Adder while kicking him out of Yellow Comet. Sensei proves to be relaxed,
yet caring for his people and his country. He just wants peace.
Sensei gets along well with everyone. He is the man!

:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: [#4#] Sensei's Stats [#4#] :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sensei's stats. We shall use a system like this:

Note: All CO Powers give a +10% defense bonus to all units for one turn.
As you can see, Sensei's strength is crazy. His B-Copters and Infantry
far surpass any others in the game. Period.
However, it does cost him. Sensei does get huge boosts, but only in three
units, and is weak in almost everything else. This would seem weak at
first, but it really isn't. It takes a little while for the average Joe
to understand Sensei, so we'll break it down for you.
First of all, Sensei's transports are a big help when capturing. Although
he lacks any special capturing abilities, his transport are fast enough
to still maintain a property advantage over the enemy. Especially because
his infantries slaughter other infantries.
With a property advantage, Sensei should start producing his trademark
units, B-Copters and Mechs. If you noticed, B-Copters and Mechs are the
two most versatile units in the game. The B-Copter fires upon ALL units
in the game, with the exception of planes. Even if it can't deal decent
damage to Anti-Airs and Cruisers, we're talking about 80% of the game
here, and that's pretty darn impressive. And Mechs deal amazing damage to
anything ground-based, considering their cost. Seven of Andy's Mechs
would defeat a Neotank, and they are about the same value. Think what
Sensei's would do then.
So, a B-Copter + Mech assault suddenly becomes a huge threat. Anti-Airs
manage to OHKO Copters, and also fairly damage Mechs; but they still fall
to the very same Mechs they take out. Since an Anti-Air is 2.5 times the
cost of a Mech, it's not an effective counter. Not to mention Sensei will
fill himself up with Mechs after his SCOP.
Sensei is one of the easiest COs to use, after you realize his strengths.
He uses, in our humble opinion, the two best units in the game. And his
weakness isn't that bad either.
On top of everything, he is a wise old buddy! What else do you want?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
:.:.:.:.:. [#5#] Strategies and Techniques for Sensei [#5#] :.:.:.:.:.:.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, we will try and provide strategies to use with Sensei. Most of
these strategies are commonly known; if you came up with any of these,
they are so widespread we wouldn't know if you really created it. If
there's a specific creator for a strategy, he shall be fully credited.
Submit any strategies you have for the mighty Sensei!
1. Early Capturing
>> Description: This strategy consists in using Sensei's extra movement
in transports, along with his powerful infantry, to maintain a city
advantage.
>> Strategy: In the establishment phase, when you must capture cities,
build infantries and transports as usual. Instead of capturing the nearby
properties, load your soldiers to the transport. Try and get them to the
cities farther away, and start capturing. After you've captured the
cities a bit past half of the map, start capturing the ones before them.
The idea of this technique is to assure Sensei gets more cities; and with
his mobile transports, he'll be able to do so. His infantry will be able
to protect the cities well, and make sure they don't get stopped during
capture. At this point, the only thing you will face is Infantry and
Recons. Block infantry with your transport! Their movement range is
small, so if you manage to block their path, they will be stopped cold.
Same applies to Recons; block the roads so they can't reach your units
through the slow moving plains. All in all, Sensei's infantry will be
able to hold off the cities, so you'll maintain a nice advantage. And if
you're having trouble holding him off, Copter Command shall re-supply you
with Infantry.
>> Counter: The best way to counter this strategy is using Tanks.
Infantry and Recons won't suffice against a Transport; it'll take you
about 4 turns fighting like that. However, Tanks will pound Sensei.
Sensei's using his money to capture before you can, so he's not producing
any powerful units. If he used Mechs instead of infantry, tanks still
have the advantage - The extra movement will assure you the first strike.
2. Mech Flooding/Swarming
>> Description: Build a lot of Mechs, support it with Airborne Assault,
and break through the enemy lines.
>> Strategy: If you managed to do well in your establishment phase, then
you should have a couple of factories. The idea of this strategy is to
produce Mechs, a whole bunch of Mechs. As we've said before, Mechs beat
about anything ground-based, considering their cost. And Sensei's are
even better. Build a lot of Mechs, and advance slowly through your
opponent's defense - He won't be able to beat you, as you'll outnumber
him badly. Even Neotanks fall to this Technique.
It's also very cost-effective, as Mechs are very cheap, and since your
enemy should be retreating, you can capture their cities. Even if it
takes a while, you eventually overwhelm your enemy with superior numbers,
while they struggle against their lack of funds.
However, it's awfully slow. Mechs only have 2 movement, and that is
horrible. Even if it's nearly unstoppable, it's WAY TOO SLOW. Do not use
this in any campaign or War room maps, or you'll get a bad speed rating,
not to mention all those killed mechs will destroy your technique rating.
Don't forget to support this strategy with APCs to actually get your
Mechs in the frontlines, and Anti-Airs for any Air units that may appear.
Note: This works very well when combined with 'Copter Blitzkrieg'.
>> Counter: This strategy can be countered by Infantry. Infantries are
one third of a Mech's cost, and they deal effective damage to them. You
should be able to outnumber your enemy, forcing them to switch techniques
to defeat your Infantry units. Tanks should be deployed too, or you'll be
slaughtered by Anti-Airs.
3. Copter Blitzkrieg
>> Description: Build a lot of B-Copters, support it with your Powers,
and break through the enemy lines.
>> Strategy: For those of you that don't know, Blitzkrieg is German for
'Lightning War'. It was adapted to Advance Wars, to imply a constant
income of Tanks and/or Artilleries - Similarly to the previously
mentioned "Mech Flood".
Well, Sensei can do it to... But Copters are what work for him. As we've
mentioned before, B-Copters are able to fire on almost anything in this
in this game - Imagine what a bunch of Sensei's crazy copters would do.
We calculated the damage, and B-Copters slaughtered almost everything,
including Cruisers (taking cost into account).
However... There are some flaws with this technique. First of all, B-
Copters fall to the cheaper Anti-Airs. If you can flood B-Copters, then
your foe can flood Anti-Airs, so it's not effective. Second, it's simply
ineffective against Planes. And lastly, it's too expensive. Unlike Mechs,
B-Copters are expensive, so you can't just pop out 3 or 4 every turn.
Even with your best income, it's hard to build more than 2, not to
mention the support they need.
With all that being said, it's still darn impressive. With some support,
B-copters become amazingly powerful. They can break through enemy lines,
or they can just go around them. And with both of your powers getting
them to crazy levels, AND creating instant support for them, this easily
becomes one of Sensei's most effective techniques, as well as his
trademark.
Note: This works very well when combined with 'Mech Flooding/Swarming'.
>> Counter: The three weaknesses mentioned are what hinder this
technique, and they're not very exploitable. Planes are too expensive to
go against a large number of copters, not to mention the Anti-Air support
that should be nearby. Sensei's powerful infantry will assure him a
steady money flow, so it's hard to go against that too. The only
effective counter is using Anti-Airs, as they can manage to stop
Copters... But Sensei's Mechs will slaughter you in large numbers. Try
and combine all three weaknesses, and watch out for Sensei's power meter.
That, and some luck. You'll need it.
4. Soldier Joining
>> Description: Use your COP or your SCOP to create foot soldiers, and
join them, so you get money from the surplus.
>> Strategy: In one campaign mission, Sensei said to an enemy that when
2 units join together, the surplus is converted into funds. That's
basically what Soldier Joining is. When you join two units, the extra HP
goes to your funds. And since Sensei's powers net him a bunch of 9HP
units, there's a gold mine there to be exploited.
This is useful in the middle of battle when you are in dire need of
building something, but you just need a little more G. The following
shows this: Pretend you have 21200 G and you want to build a bomber. You
have two infantry with 9 HP. If you join them...
9 HP Infantry + 9 HP Infantry = 8 HP extra
(9+9=18, which is 8 HP over the max amount, 10 HP)
8 HP = 80%
(Type of unit)
80% of infantry's cost: 800 G gained from the converted surplus.
You can then build a bomber, since 21200 G + 800 = 22000 G
This works best when combined with an Infantry or Mech swarm. Among your
units, there ought to be some damaged ones, so you can join them to
refresh your forces, and get some extra funds! It also contributes to
your technique in Campaign and War Room; when you join 2 units, and they
get destroyed, it only counts as one unit. It's an excellent way to use
those useless 2-3 HP units.
If you learn how to use this strategy right, you'll get so much money you
might be able to build B-Copters from just the converted surplus. It's an
excellent way to support all of the above mentioned strategies.
>> Counter: This is not a threatening strategy, but if Sensei gets some
funds, he'll beat the crap out of you with Copters. The best way to stop
this is to have one of your units block the distance between the cities,
so they won't be able to join (at least not immediately). However, then
you're getting attacked by two 9HP Mechs, so be extremely careful if
trying to stop this strategy. The old man is mighty!
5. Pre-deployed Deployment
>> Description: Use your COP or SCOP in pre-deployed maps to actually
create new units.
>> Strategy: This is actually just a simple Technique, there's no real
science here. In a pre-deployed map, Sensei's powers will allow him to
deploy units.
Although simple, this is actually quite powerful. Do your best through
the battle to capture many cities, and then use your Super CO Power. You
should unfairly outnumber your enemy, almost assuring your victory, even
against COs like Kanbei, or with a certain advantage at the map.
It's wise to count up your unit's worth. Each star in your Power meter is
worth $9,000, and every unit of yours that gets destroyed adds its worth
in funds to your Power meter. If you count up more than $54,000 that
means you will be able to use Airborne Assault at a certain point of the
battle, unless your HQ gets captured. Destroying enemy units nets you
half of their costs in your Power meter, so take that into account too.
Sometimes you just won't be able to use Airborne Assault, as there won't
be enough funds. Always calculate to see if you can use it, and if you
can, when to use it. Remember the more cities you have, the more units
you will deploy.
>> Counter: This is like an ability of Sensei's, so it's hard to
counter. The best thing you can do is stop Sensei from capturing cities,
so he'll have fewer units to work with when using his Power.
6. Pierce - By Ababy
>> Description: Attack a concentrated section of the enemy's front,
break your way through and attack his indirects, to secure the obtained
territory.
>> Strategy: Form a defensive line and make sure that you can hold the
opponent for two or three turns, or accumulate joined, healed and reserve
units while advancing relatively slowly. Concentrate units behind your
line and go for a gigantic attack on one concentrated section of the
opponent's line. When you break a hole in the line, send directs behind
and wreck havoc on indirects. You'll need to do this to secure or provide
safety for the land that you've gotten.
If you're confident, you can attack the middle, which is the most
dangerous section (opponents are surrounding you). If you manage to do
so, you'll split their line and force them to either launch a counter-
attack at the position or retreat to regroup.
The Left and Right are also good fronts to attack, especially with naval
support (battleships can do wonders here, even just one can suffice).
Sensei is marvelous here because he can wipe out meat-shields in one hit
with a bunch of cheap B-Copters. Just get three or four and rush them in,
they should create holes in the opponent's line for your directs to move
in and get two or more attacks in.
Either way, after advancing, make sure that you move some reserve
indirects up to somewhat keep the ground you've gained. MAKE SURE TO
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR LINE WHILE YOU DO THIS or you'll just give your opponent
a route to your HQ (you can make a trap out of that though.....). This
strategy devastates the opponent if successful.
>> Counter: The only way to counter a pierce attack is to be aggressive
yourself, or to have effective scouts (as pierce relies on the element of
surprise). If you know that a pierce attack will come and know which
place your opponent will attack, you can easily set up a trap. This
applies to all COs, not just Sensei. Pierce, if not prepared against, is
devastating.
7. Gosu Flanking - by konscript
>> Description: Surround your enemy with Mech units while your heavier
units stay to the middle and prevent the enemy from breaking through and
separating you.
>> Strategy: Like a few other CO's, Sensei's transports can move an
extra space. Well this is INCREDIBLY useful. While you can use B-Copters
and tanks to form a defensive mid section (about the middle of the
terrain you are fighting on), you can use your mechs to take the sides.
Build a few transports and mechs. While your heavier units hold the
middle ground, you can take your mechs and load them into the transports
secretly. Due to their ability to move an extra space, you can move them
around to the sides of the battlefield, preferably out of view. Make sure
that you do this to both sides of the battle field. Continue to unload a
few mechs on both sides until you have enough to counter most of the
units that you will be facing in the middle. Now, start to move your
mechs in; within a few turns your opponent will realize that he is being
attacked on three fronts. With you being able to attack him with more
men, you have the advantage. If you can pull off a surround with this
tactic, go ahead.
In other words, you should try pulling off something like this (E = enemy
A = you):
AEEEA
AEEA
AAA
The above formation will either allow you to completely decimate your
opponent, or force him to retreat, allowing you to take ground and most
likely properties.
You can also set up a few mechs in mountains or forests before-hand in an
area you need to take (many cities). If the enemy has control of the
area, you can send a few B-Copters in, and harass his infantry trying to
capture. In his haste to expand, he will most likely push you and your B-
Copters back, but your mechs will still be there. Move them in once he
has taken the bait, and now he is outflanked again. Due to the fact that
most of the time he will be traveling through plains (easier movement),
your mechs (who receive almost NO movement penalties), will be able to
attack on more fronts. He will be severely weakened from his advancement
and forced to give you more territory while he attempts to build back his
army.
>> Counter: The best way to counter this is to be prepared - Spread out
your units. Anti-Airs and Recons should be great counter to the flanking
units, so don't forget to deploy some around the area. Avoid getting
surrounded, and always be alert.
8. Double Copter Command - by gameguy146
>> Description: When you have filled you Power meter, use Copter Command
twice instead of using Airborne Assault.
>> Strategy: Although this strategy is very situational, it can be very
useful. Sensei's powers only differ in which unit spawn from cities - the
boost is the same. What if the Mechs you're getting simply aren't worth
it? Use Copter Command twice! Your copters will get to crazy attack
levels, for 2 turns in a row.
And even if you're getting loads of Mechs, Infantry units aren't too
shabby. You'll be getting a whole load of them, so you could try to swarm
your enemy with them. Especially with Sensei's amazing Infantry.
>> Counter: There's no real counter to this, except a whole bunch of
Anti-Airs. If Sensei's using this strategy, you can expect a lot of
Copters, so be careful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: [#6#] Sensei's weaknesses [#6#] :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, what a short section this should be. Sadly, we'll have to detail
it...
Well, as mighty as the old man is, he still fails in some occasions.
Sensei excels incredibly in his maps, yet he fails at almost everything
else. That is his main weakness - He's too focalized. Getting crazy
boosts for 3 units is amazing, as long as you get to use them thoroughly.
But only 3 out of 16 units (excluding transports) is a bad ratio. Chances
are you'll find maps where one, two, or even all three units are
neglected. This limits Sensei in a fair amount of maps.
The fact his Air units are normal helps him out a bit, as they are widely
versatile. They can be used in ALL maps; as long as you can deploy them,
they'll do fine. His weak units aren't too bad either; they have slightly
less firepower, and are perfectly usable.
What really kills Sensei, are his Powers. While they are amazing in the
right maps, they are way too focused. In a Sea map without Air units,
Sensei's Powers only give the traditional +10% defense. All the other
type-specialized COs (Based on Air, Sea or Ground) have special effects
in their powers, that help them even if not in their specialty. Drake
reduces fuel, which brings him the edge at Air battles, Eagle's Lightning
Strike works in Ground and Sea as well; and Jess' refueling help in Air
or Sea battles. Yet, our buddy Sensei only gets boosts in his strength.
It simply hinders his chances at some maps.
He also relies a lot in large numbers. Sensei almost always relies on
some kind of swarm - whether it's Mech, Copter or whatever, he needs them
in large numbers. So he's highly susceptible to any kind of generalized
damage, like damaging Powers, or Missile Silos.
With all that being said, Sensei still is no pushover. He has a slight
advantage - ALL maps shall include cities. If it's pre-deployed, he'll
get extra units, and if it has deployment, he can get extra funds, as
well as easier capturing time. Do not under-estimate him, or you might
get a nasty surprise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
:.:.:. [#7#] How would Sensei fare against the other COs? [#7#] .:.:.:.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, we'll try to show how Sensei would fare against all the other COs
in the game. Skill is a lot more important than anything you see here -
using the best CO won't assure your victory. It's still important, so
let's see how Sensei stands up to the rest of the gang.
>> 1. Andy
Many people call Andy the prime all-rounder. That means he'll fall to
Sensei's strength, but will also be able to exploit his weakness.
When it comes to capturing, Sensei definitely has the advantage. The far-
moving transports, accompanied by the powerful soldiers simply outperform
Andy. Sensei should assure a fair amount of properties. But aside from
that, it's just about the map. Sensei shall shine when Copters and Mechs
are around; but he'll fail miserably at Sea. Try to get the best out of
him, building a balanced force and trying to use his powerful units.
Hyper Repair and Hyper Upgrade won't be really significant to actually
hinder you, so just play normally.
>> 2. Max
Max can fall to Sensei's abilities very easily. Since he suffers a lot
not having defensive strategies, you can use an all-air-unit rush to
destroy Max or capture his HQ. Max won't stand a chance since the
indirect range of Max is reduced and therefore, defensive strategy is
reduced.
Sensei has the advantage at capturing, and using infantry loaded into T
Copters with Bombers and Fighters, you can easily win. With extra
firepower, B Copters can also be used.
When it comes to maps, even though Sensei fails at sea, Sensei still
fares better than Max. On a sea map with many islands, Sensei has the
advantage over Max since Sensei's landers have +1 movement, and
therefore, Sensei could capture a lot more properties than Max. Sensei
can then build many strong units and start to do an offensive attack,
which will probably succeed because of Max's lack to go on the defensive.
Like Andy, just play normally with Sensei against Max. Sensei might
become handicapped in a battle if air is excluded and there are only
ground and sea units.
Nevertheless, Max is not to be underestimated. Even though Max is
absolutely helpless when defending from Sensei, if he manages to do so,
the roles will change and Sensei will be the one at the defensive. Max
has tremendous offensive capabilities, and unlike Sensei, they go for all
direct units, which means Max can launch a much more varied assault,
which makes it much harder to counter it. This situation would be
completely disastrous for Sensei, so don't allow the battle to get there;
establish an early lead and you'll keep the bull that is Max tied up.
>> 3. Sami
Ahh... Two amazing COs in an epic battle. This should be interesting...
Although both COs share some similarities, they differ in many aspects.
Sensei is too focalized - he relies on sheer power for his boosts. Sami,
in the other hand, requires more strategy. They excel on slightly
different occasions, and in different ways.
Sami's foot soldiers are slightly weaker than Sensei's, which gives
Sensei the advantage in normal battles. However, the extra capture more
than makes up for it. Sami should get many more cities than Sensei, and
that's saying something. Sami should be the only CO to match Sensei in
capturing.
Even if Sensei's Infantry has a bit more attack, they aren't up to par
with Sami's. Why? Well, it's quite simple. Sami's Powers give great
boosts to her Foot soldiers. Even if Sensei outnumbers her when using his
powers, he still fails to the 1.5 capturing, and the huge boosts they get
with Sami's powers.
Never-the-less, Sensei matches Sami almost everywhere else. They're equal
in almost everything, and Sami's normal Indirects are evened out with
Sensei's normal Air units. Except for the Battle Copter - Sensei's B-
Copters simply obliterate Sami. While this evens out with Sami's
capturing ability, it's much more versatile. It can be used in a much
wider variety of maps, to give Sensei the advantage over her.
With all that being said, we believe Sensei and Sami are pretty much
even. They excel in different maps, albeit being so similar. Do not
under-estimate Sami, or you'll face the fate many n00bs have already
experienced, and many experts as well.
>> 4. Nell
Nell is an all-around CO, so you shouldn't vary your game against her.
Just play normally, like you would against Andy.
Her extra damage is devastating, but Sensei isn't more affected than any
other COs. His best units are what we'd like to call "dog-fightable".
That means they can deal nice damage, and are killed quite easily - Like
in a Copter Dogfight, whoever gets the first strike wins. Since your
units shouldn't be too usable without the added damage, they won't be
much worse with it. Sensei still suffers what any other CO suffers with
Nell. If an Infantry destroys your B-Copter, just smile and don't feel
sad - You know she's cheap.
>> 5. Hachi
Elder COs face off!
Now, Hachi is a triple star CO. That means he's designed to be cheap, and
have unfair advantages. In this case, Hachi gets 10% cheaper units, for
absolutely no weakness. Which is totally horrible for us.
Sensei is a natural swarmer, and relies on large numbers. Well, Hachi can
swarm better than him. Hachi will have slightly more units than Andy
would, and that's not too much of a problem for us. What kills is his
powers - 50% cheaper units put him far above Andy's levels. And the fact
he will be able to deploy from cities also screws us up, as it allows for
instant defense from Sensei's swarm (as it's usually slow). Although you
could try to block the cities to prevent it, it's still a killer.
Well, what do you guys suggest? We shall remain silent. Hachi is one heck
of a CO, and the only things you can do are play normally, and try to
defeat him. Do your best, as this guy is quite the CO. The disciple
overruns his Sensei!
>> 6. Olaf
Well, he had to fall someday...
Sensei plays normally against Olaf. He shouldn't have any trouble... If
Olaf doesn't use his Powers.
Sensei has a lot of trouble with Snow. His best units fall to it;
specially the B-copter, whose amazing movement is greatly hindered.
Sensei will perform poorly in Snow, so avoid it at all costs.
And then, there's the damage. Sensei relies on large numbers of units, so
generalized damage is a no-no for him. Since ALL units Sensei has will be
damaged, he'll lose a lot of power, and losing all that money feels
frustrating.
Still, do your best to defeat him using the normal strategies. The Powers
only come once in a while - Don't freak out about it!
>> 7. Grit
Grit is hard for the old man.
If the map is ground-only, Grit shall have the advantage. Grit's normal
strategies will suffice against Sensei's weaker directs, and his Infantry
units won't help either, as they're too slow to actually reach the
Indirects before getting blasted to bits. Not everything is lost,
however, as Sensei can and will manage to have a great property
advantage. Grit is a defensive CO, so he won't have much time to capture
- allowing you to capture even more than usual. Still, Grit should be
able to overcome the lack of funds, and eventually beat Sensei. The best
you can do is try to stop him before he fills himself with indirects,
while also capturing most of the properties.
If Air units are involved, Sensei gains a whole new level of power. Grit
is a very defensive CO, so he will take time to set-up his forces; and
there's when you strike. Sensei's B-copters can successfully assault Grit
before he's ready, screwing up his capturing, and not giving him time to
re-group. With a constant income of B-copters, you should be able to
breeze through even Anti-Airs, eventually winning you the capturing
battle, or the battle altogether.
In Sea and Air, Grit simply falls to Sensei. Watch out for battleships,
but outside of that, it shouldn't be hard to beat him.
As a finishing note, we'd like to say that even with Copters; Grit is a
hard foe to face with Sensei. You should be able to defeat him, as long
you're playing in an open map. The availability of Copters is a very
deciding factor - You want to reduce those Artilleries and Rockets as
much as you can.
>> 8. Colin
Colin is an interesting CO against Sensei. Colin's cheap units allow him
a very powerful early game, as he will be able to expand faster and more
effectively. So, if used properly, Colin can be a big problem for Sensei.
Sensei's swarming advantage can be countered by Colin's swarm of cheap
units.
This can be countered by a cost-efficient strategy that is perfect for
Sensei. In this situation, an all around army force can be the best way
to counter it. First of all, since Colin's foot soldiers are weakened by
Colin's abilities, you should do your best to out-capture him and his
superior numbers. When Colin saves up enough, he'll move up to high-tier
units; much faster than us, if we may add. Make sure to build Indirects
once you saved up enough money, to hold off your lines.
Colin's units are equal to Sensei's vehicles, so Sensei won't be
handicapped, as usual. If Sensei does manage to secure enough properties,
Colin's cheap prices will match his money advantage, making the money
game fairly even. Although in that case, the battle sides to Sensei due
to his B-Copters and Foot Soldiers.
So, what must you do when battling Colin? Capture! If Colin gets enough
money, Sensei's swarming abilities are limited, and Colin will eventually
best him. Do your best to stop Colin from capturing, if you manage to,
the battle will be over. Good Luck; Colin is a real bitch.
>> 9. Kanbei
Ahh... This is interesting.
Kanbei can be very challenging for Sensei, but it depends what kind of
map it is. Kanbei definitely has the advantage on pre-deployed maps and
small maps, while Sensei is a more all-around CO. Sensei can be used
better on larger maps because of the faster transports. Even though
Kanbei has the advantage in strength, Sensei will capture faster on those
maps.
Well, what are you supposed to do with the funds? RUSH. Kanbei has a weak
early game, as he will have few units, and they will be low-tier
(Infantry, Recons). Therefore, if you manage to attack him quickly, he
will have a very hard time keeping up with your offensive, as he still
has very limited funds. Sensei's B-Copters are perfect for the job, being
fast, powerful and versatile.
However, if you are facing a good Kanbei player, your opponent might use
his best tricks to try and survive your assault. Kanbei is very powerful
in terms of defense and offense, by far outweighing his cost
disadvantage. So, if Kanbei actually survives the early game and gets
some properties, he becomes a real beast. Sensei's 90/100 units will
suffer in front of Kanbei's equal units. Remember to kill him early, or
you'll die later.
>> 10. Sonja
Facing Sonja can be tricky, depending on if it is Fog of War or not.
Sonja obviously has the upper hand in Fog of War, but can also play mind
games with Sensei without it. Sonja's HP is not shown to Sensei, and can
mix up the units together, making Sensei unable to know when her units
are going to be destroyed.
The easiest way to counter this is to put animations on, for players
only. You will then know what the HP is after the battle animation. It
might take long, but it's worth it, Sonja will no longer confuse you.
Using a balanced Airforce supported with indirect units can rout Sonja
easily after Sonja's mind games don't work against Sensei. Just watch out
for Sonja's SCOP, Counter Break, which delays your destroying strategy.
Make sure you have enough units to actually go over the loss of the first
strike, or Counter Break might stop your plans.
Don't worry about Sonja's +1 vision or her COP, because it does nothing
without Fog of War. If Fog of War is on, make sure to build a lot of
recons to match Sonja's advantage of vision. B-Copters also have pretty
good vision, and with Sensei's strength in them, B-Copters become
important in Fog of War. Even though you need a lot of recons, build a
more powerful force with it, like a B-Copter Blitzkrieg supported with
indirect units and a Mech swarm.
>> 11. Sensei
Facing yourself. Can it be challenging?
A Sensei VS Sensei match is pretty much equal, since the pros and cons
are the same. To counter your mirror image, build units that counter the
units your enemy builds. Also, build infantry supported with transports
to capture faster than your opponent. The last thing you want happening
is your opponent getting 20 mechs from Sensei's SCOP.
Start to use your CO Power more than your Super CO Power against Sensei
so your Battle Copters get a boost faster and your infantry production
increases, resulting in more capturing. The only way you'll get the upper
hand against someone with the same abilities as you is to have more
properties. More properties equals more money, and more money equals
better units.
Just do your best facing Sensei. It might become tricky since there
aren't many strategies used to counter Sensei when you are Sensei.
>> 12. Eagle
Facing the flyboy who relies on Blitzkrieg...
Everyone knows Eagle, the Green Earth CO with the infamous air unit
force. Fighting him with Sensei can be very tricky. Eagle's 100/100
ground force outperforms Sensei's ground force any day, and Sensei's
copters don't fare well against Eagle's strong advantages in air. Both of
them are weak in sea, not much difference there.
It's true that Eagle has the advantage in strengths. However, Sensei has
the advantage in strategies and techniques. Sensei's mechs and supported
with indirects can beat Eagle's normal ground force if used properly, and
with Sensei's +1 movement in his transports, he can capture a lot more
properties than Eagle. This makes Eagle run into a bad situation, since
he needs a lot of money to swarm air units.
Sensei's main strengths, the power in his infantry and copters are cost-
efficient. Unlike Eagle's Blitzkrieg force, his OHKO Copters easily
outmatch Eagle in a dogfight. In a Copter VS Copter battle, Eagle falls
to Sensei's strengths.
Once Sensei has enough properties, he can use his 100/100 air force. Even
though Eagle's air unit force is stronger and burn less fuel, Sensei can
gain the upper hand easily. If Sensei is used properly, Eagle won't have
time to build many air units before Sensei destroys them all with A-Airs,
Missiles, or Fighters.
Watch out for Eagle's ultimate attack, his SCOP, Lightning Strike. If you
don't know Eagle has it, you might not be prepared for 2 attacks with
almost every unit in the middle of a battle. Check the menu on CO, and in
Eagle's profile, you can see if he has his Super CO Power or not. That
way, you can prepare for Lightning Strike and go on the defensive for one
turn.
>> 13. Drake
Drake can beat Sensei if you're not prepared. His +1 movement with naval
units gives him the same advantage Sensei has with landers. Drake's
100/100 ground force also outmatches Sensei's, and Drake's infantry force
is pretty much normal too. The only advantage Sensei has over Drake is
his air force and his infantry.
Sensei's main problem against Drake is the CO Powers. Drake's powers half
fuel, giving a big disadvantage when Sensei uses the B-Copter Blitzkrieg.
When this happens, the B-Copters will eventually run out of fuel and die.
Also, the generalized damage hurts many of Sensei's techniques.
The solution to this problem is to use a lot of APCs against Drake.
They're cheap; they supply ammo and fuel, and can be very useful when
supplying air units. Drake's powers lose half of their effect when APCs
just supply the fuel back.
If your air units are supported with APC units, then rush air units,
since naval units' strength is no match for bombers, fighters, and
copters, which obliterate just about everything.
Another way to gain the upper hand against Drake is by using the Soldier
Joining technique. When APC units aren't close to the infantry, you can
just join them to get more money. Besides, on a large map, who needs
infantry to go on the main offensive army?
As always, the techniques of capturing properties give you the upper
hand, as naval units are the most expensive and Drake needs the money. If
you don't capture first, Drake could build his mighty battleships fast to
attack from afar.
>> 14. Jess
Jess is a good CO against Sensei. Though her powers become all around
with the supplying effect, she is slightly weak for a lot of units and
only slightly strong for ground units without the powers. Her abilities
can be below average against Sensei, but in an all-ground battle, she
obviously wins.
As usual, if you're on the offensive, use B-Copter Blitzkrieg supported
with a mech swarm and indirect units. Advance with all the units in the
group slowly, and do a large attack once you reach your opponent. If Jess
builds a lot of MD Tanks, the copters destroy it. If A-Airs come, the
mechs destroy it. If air units come, use missile units to destroy them.
If naval units come, artillery and rockets destroy them in range.
If you use this strategy, which is very effective against Jess, back it
up with APC units, since mech's ammo runs out fast, B-Copters' fuel can
run out in a large map, and indirects need ammo to attack every turn for
support.
Eventually, your opponent will figure out a way to counter this
technique, so it's pretty much temporary. When this happens, you've
already destroyed many of her units, so swoop in for the kill with air
units.
On the ground battle, Jess obviously has the upper hand. You'll have a
lot of trouble if there are only ground units at your disposal. The only
thing you'll have that Jess doesn't have is the powerful infantry force.
Even though Jess has better stats at ground battling, don't be afraid to
use the stronger units, like MD Tanks. Try to capture a lot of properties
in a ground battle, and use your SCOP to gain the upper hand. After all,
getting lots of units when you're losing can give you a great comeback!
If you are in a ground battle, which out for Jess's powers, which become
more useful than Sensei's in a ground only battle. If you play with many
of the strategies Sensei can use in a ground battle, you can win.
>> 15. Flak
Flak is like a weaker version of Nell, and if you combine his pros and
cons together, he's a pretty balanced CO. If you're not careful, a Flak
player can take you by surprise and take the upper hand. Underestimating
Flak is the last thing you want to do when facing him.
While Flak has a couple of different things, he's just a normal CO. Play
as you would against anyone else; his bonuses won't be really
significant.
As for his Powers, they won't do much damage, as you'll be dealing mostly
with cheap units, easily replaceable. Remember to exploit your Airforce,
and watch out for Sea maps.
>> 16. Lash
Lash is one of the best COs of Advance Wars 2. In our eyes, she's quite
broken. How will Sensei fare against an almost Star CO?
Well, he must watch out at Land. Lash's ground forces simply obliterate
Sensei's, as the most common type of Terrain is plains, and Lash excels
there. Sensei will be struggling with his weaker tanks, while Lash breaks
through his lines.
At Air, Sensei does a bit better. With no terrain to take advantage of,
Lash is in for a pounding. Just attack her with your superior Copters,
and support yourself with your Powers. Since Lash's Powers are useless at
Air battles, Sensei will have the edge here.
At Sea, Sensei is just as weak as always. Lash's strength won't be very
exploitable, so just consider her a normal CO. Her CO Powers aren't too
useful either, with Reefs being a bit uncommon. Do your best to win the
property battle, so you can outnumber her. Your Landers are better than
hers, so don't be discouraged.
Still, Lash will pound Sensei at ground, and match him at Air and Sea.
Try and make use of your strong Infantry to win the property battle, and
attack her with your B-Copters and Mechs.
>> 17. Adder
You've kicked his ass at Yellow Comet's campaign. He should be easy by
now!
Adder is just a normal CO, so play normally. Don't be scared by his
Michael Jackson face, and pound him with your usual strategies.
His powers are a bit worrying... But nothing too special. While your
units rely a lot on the first strike, they should be in large numbers -
so it's not a big deal when some of them die. Especially since they're so
cheap.
All the mentioned strategies should work normally, so just kick his ass,
like in Yellow Comet. Go Sensei!
>> 18. Hawke
Hawke is Star CO, but he isn't that big of a deal.
While he has above average stats, it's not really a difference. He's just
a bit stronger than Andy, so you can play normally. Apply all the
techniques you see fit, and don't fret about his extra attack.
His Powers are bad stuff. Generalized damage is not a good thing for
Sensei, and we can't stress it enough. But luckily for us, this is
Hawke's weakness! His Power meter is way too long to be really effective.
Still, when he gets to use it, your frontlines will be badly damaged. And
since Sensei is a very offensive CO, you should have loads of units in
the frontlines. Remember, generalized damage = NO GOOD.
However, Sensei is quite capable of defeating Hawke. He shouldn't be too
hard - be sure to have a property advantage, and just play normally.
Watch out for his Powers, and trigger them only at best situations.
>> 19. Sturm
BROKEN/10.
Well, there's much you can do against Sturm. He's powerful, he's cheap.
How do you beat him?
First of all, be glad your Copters and Mechs still beat his. Now be sad
he totally obliterates you at Ground and Sea. His free movement overruns
many of your techniques. For example, Recons can now reach your Infantry
easily, through the Plains, and that eliminates your property advantage.
His ground and sea units will be able to fully use terrain, as now
there's no penalty on them, and with his extra defense, that makes him
almost invincible. You're in for rough waters with this one.
Do your best to go against him. You're not too bad at Air, so use T-
Copters to maintain a city advantage (even if slight). Your Copters are
still powerful enough to pound his troops, so take advantage of that.
Block the best terrain, so he is forced to move through plains. Use
Indirects to go around his extra attack. Try your best, and combine all
of the strategies we've mentioned in the FAQ.
His Powers are easy to go around. While Meteor Strike is powerful, it
targets the mass of units worth more money - so mass Mechs! It's cost-
effective, but expensive enough for Sturm to go for them. Plus, you can
support the mass with your SCOP, so you shouldn't have much trouble with
it.
Taking everything into account... We must repeat - Broken/10. Just...
try. Try to go against the nature of this game, and beat the most utterly
broken CO we've seen in a while.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are varied opinions about Sensei. Got your own? Post it in the
boards, or e-mail us!
Xenesis Xenon says:
'Sensei's good at mixed combat. His airforce is always useful and his
copters are quite brutal. Mix that in with strong mechs and infantry and
you have a balanced CO. He can hold his own in most theaters of war,
although he suffers a bit in pure sea combat.
He works well with general combat tactics, while using his powers to
support his forces with additional units and beef up his copters. His
powers also allow him to stall and blockade for much longer than most
COs, as he gets free cannon fodder and the mechs can usually be pulled
out of nowhere in a tricky spot to defend against most vehicular and
soldier type troops. Not to mention, his B-Copters will OHKO opposing
copters, and thoroughly wreak indirect units.
Sensei's strength is in his cheap and powerful troops.'
ThrawnFett says:
'He's one of my favorite COs to use. His units are slightly weaker, but
his foot soldiers and copters have a significant boost. So, primarily
using foot soldiers and copters, but with a good mix of supporting units,
Sensei can be a force to be reckoned with. He can be tricky to use,
especially against an army of Anti Airs. But with good strategy and
planning, his other (slightly weaker) units can overcome that. Since his
COP and SCOP both boost his Copters and give him plenty of foot soldiers
to mass, those will really help in a tight situation. It can also provide
money, allowing for more expensive back up. Oh, his planes are still
100/100, so his Bomber is just as devastating as normal.
And while this doesn't affect gameplay, his music is awesome! His music
is tied with Grit's for my favorite in the game...'
Terragent says:
'Ah, Sensei. Personally, I find him at his best when he's supplying the
comic relief; his absent-mindedness, his effortless defeats of Adder -
and of course his music. As a one-time fan of big-band Swing myself, I
love Sensei's theme; a fast, jokey piece, it's almost a celebration of
the genre.
At the same time, his tactical strengths are considerable. Even before
you consider his financial advantages from joining power-produced units,
he has truly vicious copters and infantry. His tanks are the same as Sami
and Colin's - that is to say, underpowered but by no means useless - and
his sea units are perfectly usable, just like with Jess and Colin.
Another killer is his rockets; while they're weak, they work very nicely
in conjunction with a mech flood.
He's especially nasty in maps with rivers and little cover, as his mechs
and copters can sweep enemy vehicles away - his powers ensure a constant
supply of meat for the grinder.
Overall, Sensei is a balanced and enjoyable CO to use: never to be
underestimated.'
I Blame Video Games says:
'Sensei isn't my favorite CO, but that doesn't change the fact that
he's a great one. He is one of the cheapest COs to use, I mean,
Copters are the cheapest in the air, and Mechs are the cheapest decent
damaging unit on dry land. This doesn't mean he can't use his other
units, though. Sensei can easily get a quick, strong force ready to
combat the opponent while they might be still setting up, building
Tanks, which Sensei's copters beat down, or perhaps some more
expensive units.
His powers and Transport movement boost all help this out in later
game, making him one of the faster COs, despite the low movement range
of the Mech. Spamming Mechs and Copters is no problem for him, and he
can easily support it with his weaker but still easily useable other
units.
Not only can he spam, but he can tear apart foolish spammers. His
Copters and cheap infantry make a Mech flood cry, and his tanks can
cripple an AA enough to make it prey for one of his Battle Copters.
Grit is probably even easier to take down, with his AA helpless
against Tanks or Rockets or Mechs while Copters wipe out his
Artillery. Not bad for an old guy, huh?'
Inuyashafan648 says:
'Sensei is a truly gifted CO. Old, lazy, and yet, drove Adder out of
Yellow Comet with ease. Funniest out of battle, deadly in battle. He can
match with Sami in an infantry battle... providing she doesn't use her
powers. Ye could clobber Nell, Flak, Sturm... anybody with ease in a fair
map.
Stat wise, he isn't the greatest, with all of his stats on 6 units... but
he still gets the job done quite nicely. His power lies in his powers.
For every 2 cities you have, you get 800 funds and an infantry on his
power. Super power wise, you get 2400 funds and a mech. On some maps, you
will out match colin in funds. His powers are helpful defending cities
and flaking the enemy with fresh units.
In drawbacks, he is much like Grit, and the lowered indirect units of
Max. Still, considering that his tanks are still decent, he has adapted
to technology very well. He, Eagle, and Drake hold an interesting
strategy. First, attack with weaker your weaker units like Eagle's
ships. The enemy doesn't expect this, so they will be crippled. When
they are focusing on your weaker units, mass strong units like Eagle's
bomber and pound them into a million pieces.
Theme wise, he is the best. The song sounds just like him....'
