Let's Play Advance Wars - Mission #21 (3/6). From Bad to Good to...Bad Again?

That's the thing about this battle, sometimes you can make an awesome recovery just to be swamped again. I suppose the strategy here is just to minimize your losses. Also, it doesn't help when you aren't paying attention.

Maybe Sturm final smash also resides on HP remaining as well as the cost of the units in the group, that will explain his attack on Andy...

[SlimKirby]

@ZtarX79

It does, but monetary value still has the major impact, because HP determines the value of the units as well. For example, a full-health infantry, worth 1000, with 2 HP would be worth 200 (20%). Full Health Tank (7000), 3 HP Tank (2100), Full Health Rocket (15000), 5-HP Rocket (7500), and so on. It's still an economic game down to the nitty-gritty, but sometimes, even low HP units can still be worth more, depending on what exactly they are.

Wouldn't you consider that Meteor Strike on Andy's troops be a blessing-in-disguised? I mean, if that space rock hit your blue sniper's units, half of them would be dead already, with that devestating power. I'm no expert on this game, but I'd thought I'd get my word down, Slimmy. You should always be ready for curve balls, be they in baseball or spaceball, that may come your way, IMO.

@BountyHunterAquxDP

Well, you don't really want the meteors to hit your front line forces because that will severely weaken them, perhaps weakening your chances of being able to handle what Sturm has. Also, the meteor can't actually kill any units.

[vampirekoopa]

meteor strike can hurt his own units if you are doing this over try to get a 3 by 3 with most of his units in it

[SlimKirby]

@vampirekoopa

Sometimes the AI isn't that stupid though. He counts the monetary value of your units, not his own. It can happen, but you have to have a lot of really expensive units of your own with only a few of his.

[BubblesLeafeon]

I can't believe I haven't watched these yet... :o

[pokechatter]

The Meteor really doesn't fit graphically.

[vampirekoopa]

@SlimKirby maybe he takes off the value thats worth his unit so you are maybe right but if you put one bomber and a battle copter in the 3 by 3 square units then i think its gonna count

[derFischmoerder]

Transcribe audio for this one.  Its hilarious how inaccurate it is.

i love your victory laugh

[BountyHunterAquxDP]

@SlimKirby Yeah, I didn't realise the Meteor was unable to kill units, at most knock out 8 HP points. I thought that the 2nd Meteor that attacked, the one Andy suffered, would kill half of Grit's forces in that 3X3 area and leave him crippled for the rest of the engagement. It wasn't until a later part that I saw the now non-killer Meteor strike Grit again and his forces survived. Like I said, I'm no expert at this game, Slimmy. :P

[flapperdoodle]

In Brawl, they should've made Sturm an assist trophy and he can use his meteor strike! EPIC!!!

@SlimKirby not even drakes?
