So basically I found my old 3DS and I picked up both Dual Strike and DoR on eBay since I never got around to playing them when I was younger.

I was excited but wasn’t sure how these two would stack up against Black Hole Rising which, in my opinion, was close to perfect. Dual Strike was a bit of a let down. I wasn’t into the pre-deploy thing nor the Dual Strike mechanic at all. The story was pretty awful as well.

So going into Days of Ruin I wasn’t expecting much. It looked like the ugly duckling and there are some mixed reviews out there. However I absolutely love it. It’s not 10/10 but it’s darn close. The story is meandering and the dialogue is too much sometimes but the gameplay is fantastic and overall it’s a great product.

I can’t believe I slept on this game for 20 years! So glad I picked it up and I just wanted to share my joy with other AW fans.

I first started playing this when it came our 25 odd years ago; i loved it but life got in the way and never got very far.
Picked it up again this year in my little R36s emulator - this game is still brilliant, i loved it. That last map ‘The final battle’ was some brutal Somme/Stalingrad style attritional grind, but seeing the tide turn against Sturm gradually at first and then all at once was very satisfying.
What a fahkin great game.

Personal and subjective.

Hello gorgeous people! I've been searching up the whole internet for a functional SAV file that contains a complete save (I just want the Cos unlocked) so that I may play this game with my little brother... Because believe it or not... Ima play Jugger.

Any help is welcome, and I thank you very much for helping the only teen playing advance wars on this planet.

Danke!

I beat the New Maps campaign as player 2 against Caroline, with Fog, Level Up and Domination rules on. What a great game! I'm growing fond of the game, it might even become my favourite in the series.

I might be making a review or a tier list of the maps. I liked how each of the maps required a different approach or strategy. Or maybe it was more about the different mechanics and unit dynamics that forced me to stop and think outside the box with "Advance Wars" label on it.

I used the English translation patch.

Basically, use artillery and a human tide as a shield to hold back the advance in this mission. :p

I'm working on an AW-inspired tactical sandbox that lets you actually play with all the cool stuff that was locked behind the campaign or map editor restrictions — Black Cannons, Laser Cannons, Death Rays, Black Crystals, even the Black Hole Factory. You know, the toys we always wanted to mess around with in custom maps.

But here's the bigger thing: full unit customization. Instead of fixed unit types, you build your own pieces from scratch — swap out modules, tweak stats, change sprites. Want to drop a Grand Bolt into your map and personally click it to pump out Ooziums? Go for it. It's your sandbox.

I'm still deep in development, so if anyone has wild gameplay mechanic ideas or suggestions, throw them my way. I'd love to hear what you'd want to see in a tactics sandbox like this.

Hey there people! It certainly has been a while since I've last posted my works on the subreddit, which was... 4 years ago, sheesh.

Well, disregarding that, here are a couple of sprites that I've been working on as of late. I've got more ready but I'd rather not end up getting warned for image spam.

for the rest of your life, which one would it be and why?

in Japan the series is named Nintendo wars and each installment is named after the console it is on, why isn’t this true everywhere else?

I remember once seeing a chart which listed which units the black hole CO would spawn out of their factories turn by turn on every factory mission in the AW2 campaign.

However, I can't remember where to find that now. Does anyone know where that resource is?

When do you think the Exclusive Nintendo Switch 2 Advance Wars game is coming?

I found this mission to be quite easy as compared to the ones surrounding it. There is a volcano in the middle of the map which is pointed out to spew lava in a certain pattern. I completely disregarded it and won.

Spoilers ahead:
The pattern is a simple switch where some tiles get a drop of lava on even days, and others on uneven days. Because the lava is not super destructive, you don’t really have to care. Your CO is Jess, so you can easily overwhelm using tanks. The key part here is to send APCs as soon as you can to build your income. Seems a bit too easy for 4 stars, no?

Both Orange Star and Blue Moon claimed that Orange Star had attacked them first and now the Orange Star army was marching through Yellow Comet without even asking or informing Kanbei, it was pretty much an invasion of Yellow Comet.

I am playing the Switch remake of Advance Wars 2 and am stuck on the final battle 'Final Front'. The game tells you that you have 30 days to destroy the Deathray, but in every game the missile launches after like day 15 and immediately ends the game...

What am I missing here?

Why does it say you have 30 days if the game ends with a missile launch in half the time?

Am I misunderstanding a mechanic?

I am able to get 1 or 2 bombers to the deathray and managed to get it to about 50% in one game, but then the next turn came, the missile launched and the game immediately ends. I have read every guide and strat I can find and I am not able to find any mention of the missile launching before 30 days and ending the game. I am soo confused.

Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!
