Lets Play Advance Wars 2 18: Grit & Max - The Ultimate Team

[Dragonite43]

For some reason this level gives me trouble. For me to win I use Colin and Sensei. Colin mech spams while Sensei spams battle copters. It is possbile to use Grit or Olaf but then I risk losing with Blue moons troops.

@Dragonite43

I could be wrong, but I didn't think you had access to the Yellow Comet CO's at this stage in the game?

[Dragonite43]

@MalusCalibur You can as long as you beat yellow combat before blue moon. 

[MalusCalibur]

@Dragonite43

Thats right, I remember now - the game opens both at the same time.

[Sonikku2008]

Something funny. If you get everything to go exactly as you did it, but your tank manages to have 6 HP instead of 5 HP, the missile the enemy fires targets the 6 HP tank instead of Grit's artillery.

I guess 700 funds really makes a difference, doesn't it?

[coolman9899]

if i was the computer i would build 3 neotanks every time XD

[dropthepin]

@coolman9899 They come close to doing that in Hard Mode, since the factory is independent of map funds. I shat a megaton brick when Lash unleashed a Bomber, a Md Tank and an A-Air on Day 4.

[chickentaco64]

I actually finished yellow comet first. I got Kanbei to fight instead of max.

[darthteej1]

I used Colin for this map, and actually did manage to win properly. The trick is to cripple the initial wave with missiles, and then advance up the map with your dozens of units.

[MalusCalibur]

Using Colin all the time wouldn't be all that fun, though, would it.

[SighNapse1]

@darthteej1 alternatively push in a straight line upward with grit, use a super power and 1hit the seam with a rocket but in all honesty bombers are much more fun :P

[FairyLeviathanZ]

Max covering Grit's indirects while Grit smashes anything that gets in Max's way. Tasty.

[runerinpoke]

wat about snowball man

[MalusCalibur]

Who the f*** is snowball man?

Actually, nevermind. I don't care.

[FallenAngelZerato]

i think he is refering to olaf

[KAKADOUJACK]

@MalusCalibur I believe he meant olaf with his magical snowball throwing super power

[MalusCalibur]

@KAKADOUJACK

Replying to comments over a year old = bad idea.

[LPwatcher]

Ya know, that title is right if you think about it, Mr. Super indirect and Mr. super direct would make a ridickulas amount of firepower for all units.

[MalusCalibur]

Ironically, they absolutely sucked as a team in AW:DS. Rather than cover each other's weaknesses, they exposed them, since they utilise very different tactical approaches.

[FlloydOwnsAll]

y'know if the factory makes any unit for free why don't they just nake bomers/neotanks from turn one?

[BloodyFist111]

I think its to do with the funds they have, if they couldnt build it normally, then they cant build it in a factory.

Just a guess

[FlloydOwnsAll]

Makes sence!

[outcastorange]

I really wish I had played these games more as a child...

[88Cortex]

U can still play them.

[Swedexplosion]

Heh, it's kinda funny that Max's air units are as good as Eagle's (and in AW1 his was even better!), so it's nice that there isn't an indirect air unit... or is it?

[MalusCalibur]

Although Max's air units are more powerful than Eagle's, Eagle has other bonuses: his air units use less fuel, which for them is a huge advantage.

[Swedexplosion]

And Jess has the ability to refuel them instantly with her CO Power. Gee, a lot have advantages through air units... but they're good for almost everyone... although expensive.

[AdvanceNick]

and then there's kanbei, who is eagle, jess, and drake rolled into one. He's even better in AW:DS if you give him cost reducing skills.

[Swedexplosion]

Touché!

[MalusCalibur]

Except that he isn't. He doesn't have Eagle's air unit fuel use reduction, Jess's extra movement/refuelling powers, or Drake's mass damage/fuel halving powers.

Also, the skills in AW:DS are for wusses.
