Learn how to effectively use speedy units like Recons for protection and avoid leaving them vulnerable in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. Master unit positioning!
Hey there! So, you're looking to get the most out of your speedy units in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, huh? Let's talk about 'leapfrogging' – it's all about keeping those fast movers safe while they do their job.
Think about units like Recons. They're super fast and great for scouting or grabbing territory quickly. But here's the catch: they're usually pretty fragile. If you send a Recon charging ahead all by itself, without any backup, the enemy will likely pick it off before it can even do much. It's a real bummer to lose a unit like that so fast!
The key is to use your slower, tougher units to protect your faster ones. Imagine your Recon moving up, and then a Mid Tank or another solid unit moves up right behind it, within range to defend it. This way, the Recon can advance and do its thing, but if an enemy unit tries to attack it, your tougher unit is there to retaliate or take the hit. It's like a buddy system for your army!
- Always take a moment before ending your turn to press the L button. This lets you see all the units you've moved, making sure you haven't forgotten anyone.
- Remember, you can capture enemy bases and cities, not just your own.
- If you're in a pinch and don't have any Infantry to capture an enemy base, you can actually park any unit on top of it! This blocks the enemy from producing new units from that base. It's best to use a unit that's already a bit beat up or low on fuel for this, so you don't waste a healthy unit's potential.
- Capturing an enemy HQ is huge! If there are other opponents left on the map, you'll instantly get all their money and any bases they controlled. So, instead of wiping out every single enemy unit, sometimes it's smarter to focus on taking down that HQ to win big.
Game Reset: Just a heads-up, if you ever need to start over completely, pressing A + B + Start + Select will restart the game. Keep in mind, though, that any unsaved progress will be lost!
