Advance Wars 2

I dislike the timed missions as well. I don't like to rush through the battles. Much of the enjoyment comes from relaxing and looking over the whole battlefield.

I refuse to begin FFTactics until I finish this. I finished another couple of missions last night and I just got in the mood to play right now.

Off topic, but doesn't some of the music just kick ass?

Yes, I agree. I love the sound of sampled electric guitars on 16-bit systems (like this game and FFMQ). That said, my favorite tracks are the ally Super Power BGM, and some of the pre-battle music when the BH CO's talk amongst themselves.

The bad guy's get some of the stand out sound. Except for the little girl with the afro.

the orage star pre-battle theme is my favorite song in the game. have you unlocked the sound test yet?

Sorry for resurecting a dead thread, but I just got the game and thought it'd be nice if there were actually a few people to talk about it with.

In keeping with the spirit of the thread, I'd have to say that Olaf is presently my favorite CO. Winter Fury (his super power) is freaking great.

That said, does anyone have any tips for beating his second missin? The one where you have to convert the eight cities surrounding the giant missle silo? It's only a three star mission, but it's eating me for breakfast.

This is a pretty straightforward mission. Just bomb your way out of the upper left corner with Andy, and blow up the two entry points with Olaf's tanks. It's pretty much a war of attrition after that. Just remember that Olaf's power will slow down Andy's planes.

But I only have fifteen days to capture eight cities, no bases from which to produce infantry, on three infantry units to speak of . . . and Flak just has way too many units. He clogs up the middle of the level. Every time one of my tanks gets a leg up and destroys a unit, his just rolls another one right in. This is all not to mention his ranged game. I know he might suck a indirect combat, but that doesn't matter when he's got four artilleries and two missle launchers pointed at me, all from a safe distance.

I know I'm just being whiney, and that I should bear down and kick his lilly ass, but I'm frustrated.

Thanks for replying, by the way.

I have another question. Do I have to achieve certain ranks on certain levels to make new things available in the shop, or do they just eventually appear?

You don't need any bases, dude. Just send up two troops in the APCs and bait him as best you can. The key is choking him off. Get your rockets and Md tanks into position so they have to move into your zone of death to proceed. Pick off the stragglers with Andy's bombers.

Re: the shop, all you have to do is finish the levels for a particular country to unlock that country's COs. Finish the Blue Moon missions to unlock Colin, Olaf, and Grit, etc.
