Advance wars thread - Cardboardsnail - 2008-07-30
I love all the advance wars games
Especially Days of Ruin (But daaaamm Caulder is cheap)

I only have Dual Strike at the moment, and damn is it fun! Is "Days of Ruin" worth buying?
Advance wars thread - Lozmaster - 2008-08-01
Yes. It's much better than dual strike.

It's awesome

I only played 1 and 2 and I have to say I'm best with Kanbei or Sonja =P
I used all the characters so don't think that I only stick to YC COs...

I like using Grit (His artillery rock)
Too bad his direct units suck...hard
Advance wars thread - Zaotsu - 2008-08-02
Grit is the definition of broken in AW2 and AW
S.
I've played all of them, on the last mission of DoR currently though. I find DoR to be the most fun overall in terms of playing, its much more... strategy oriented than the mass production feel of the earlier games. Dual CO powers are just too game breaking IMO, especially Sami + Eagle. You can literally be like... half the map away and capture the HQ in one turn with them.
Even though the Anti-Tank is such an... unfair unit (fairly cheap, only weak to naval / bomber / infantry, rapes most anything that directly attacks it) I think it does a good job of changing the game play a bit.

Grit's not that broken
Sturm is broken
120/120 units and no terrain movement cost is wtp
Advance wars thread - »-Chris-> - 2008-08-03
Okaaaay, I'll have to buy DoR then! lol

Sturm being broken is more or less a given. Look at any of the unlockable CO's at endgame and they're mostly all broken. Hachi, Sturm, Nell to some extent with her COP / SCOP, Von Bolt isn't as bad as Sturm with only 110/110 D2D and a less effective SCOP. Caulder is the definition of broken though, if only because most other CO's aren't anywhere near that powerful.

Sturm wasn't broken in AW1 though
He had 130/80 units (The one you can unlock has 80/130 units)
I wish Olaf was more useful
He's just...useless
Advance wars thread - Zaotsu - 2008-08-04
Eh, yeah. Olaf is really only decent for his SCOP, even then Drake's SCOP is better because of the fuel rapeage.
Advance wars thread - CronoRegen - 2008-08-05
AHHH I totally miss AW, I wanna play it now
Advance wars thread - Yoorah - 2008-08-05
I got the original Advance Wars for the GBA, and I loved it. <3 Haven't tried any of the newer ones, though.

Olaf isn't that bad, his blizzard and winter fury actually pisses me off regardless of who I'm using. I have to agree that both Drakes COP and SCOP really hurts bad =(.
Of all the characters, I hate facing Hawke, he can really turn the tides of battle around when he uses his SCOP (Black Storm). One of the few CO powers that drives me bonkers.
With Sturm, his SCOP can be countered but not that easily. What I do is spread my units as far away as possible when his CO meter is around 3/4 of the way so I have a chance that at max 2 units get hit instead of like 5 to 12
One question... what is Von Bolts SCOP and what does it do? (I don't have dual strike)
