Sorry, but I just don't like attributing numbers to titles that didn't have any at the first place. If you want to, I could called them "Blade of Flames" and "Sealed Sword" if you want to bitch about it.

Yeah, 5 letters. So incredibly similar...

P.S. I know it's only one character difference in Japanese, so STFU in advance.

Or better yet, how about giving Americans both Kururuins or all three Stafis on a single cart? :)

I am really looking forward to this game....I love AW!!!

Anyway...Why don't they make an advance wars game where a ground and air unit could occupy the same space?

Or they could have a more advanced movement scheme...like you could tell a unit to go somewhere, but when you're passing by, you could fire at a target...you would lose some accuracy that way, but still...it would RULE!

Like you could take your bomber across the map while unloading bombs on spaces along the way.

Another thing I always hated was that you couldn't use allied cities and/or APCs to refuel and replenish...

I hope there's more to this version than what we're seeing early on. What's up with the satellite thing?

That would be Nintendo adding too much to a sequel, and it just isn't allowed.

Since the fans just take more of the same with a few added touches, why add in something important?

What are you talking about? APCs could replenish fuel and ammo to all units in adjacent spaces, and cities replenished fuel, ammo, and 2 HP to any ground unit sitting on it at the beginning of a turn.

And if you're refeering to air units, replenishing by those means, that wouldn't make sense logistically (well, maybe for the heli units), and would make them way too powerful. The neccessity to refuel more often at a specific location is a trade-off for the large movement ability and power they offer.

Heh.

Personally, I was annoyed at how little was added to AW2.

In terms of units I'd agree, but the reworked campaign setup, tons of new COs, double CO powers, tons of new war room scenarios and all the versus options kept me happy none the less. Advance Wars 1 was close to perfection anyway, it's a tough act to follow. :)

everytime I come back to this page another DS games thread pops up with more great news inside :D. I HAVE to buy this game.

True, but more new units wouldn't hurt.
