Advance Wars: Conquer Kanbei in Mission 12

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle Mission 12: Kanbei Arrives. This one's a bit of a toughie, rated 4 stars for difficulty, and you'll need to pull off a Perfect S-Rank within 6 days. The key here is using Andy effectively, as Sami's direct units and Max's indirect units aren't quite suited for this specific challenge. Kanbei himself is your enemy CO, and he's not messing around.

Walkthrough

1
Day 1: Initial Positioning. Your main goal today is to set up a defensive line. Move your medium tanks east to engage and damage the enemy rockets. For all your other units, keep them out of rocket range for now. The mountain range to your west will be your best friend, acting as a barrier against Kanbei's tanks.
2
Day 2: Consolidate and Defend. Bring your medium tanks back west to the safety of your cities. This repositions them behind the mountain barrier. Now, move your artillery and rockets as far east as they can go, but make sure to keep a medium tank, a regular tank, or a mech positioned just to their right. This is crucial to prevent Kanbei's units from directly attacking your valuable indirect fire units.
3
Ongoing Turns: Wear Down the Enemy. Kanbei will start sending his tanks at you in waves, and his artillery will advance. Your primary targets should be his medium tanks first, then his artillery, and finally his regular tanks. Keep your own units firing every turn.
4
Healing and Victory. Use your cities and HQ to heal any units that take damage. By holding the line and steadily chipping away at Kanbei's forces, you'll eventually grind him down and secure the win.

Tips

Focus on using Andy. His balanced abilities are best suited for this mission's mix of threats.
Prioritize targets: Medium Tanks > Artillery > Tanks.
Utilize the terrain! The mountain range is your key defensive asset.
Don't neglect healing; keeping your units alive is crucial for a long battle.
