Advance Wars Mission 13: Mighty Kanbei! (2) strategy. Learn how to defend the eastern bridge and capture Kanbei's HQ.
Walkthrough
- 1Day 1: Attack Kanbei's southern tank with your rocket, the eastern tank with your other rocket, and the eastern rocket with your tank. Do not attack the rocket with your infantry. Move both your mech and infantry to the east to help with defense. Ensure your southern tank does not cross the bridge, and your eastern tank only crosses once to attack. Build one infantry from the eastern base.
- 2Day 2: Build a medium tank from the eastern base and begin capturing two neutral properties. Pull back your tank behind your infantry on the eastern bridge. Destroy Kanbei's rocket with your rocket. On the southern front, destroy the tank with your rocket and attack the artillery with your tank. Move non-capturing infantry east.
- 3Day 3: Destroy the southern artillery with your tank and build an APC and infantry. Move an infantry towards Kanbei's HQ from the southern front. Move your western rocket eastward and use your mech as cannon fodder.
- 4Day 4: Pull back your damaged mech, build two artillery, and move back the rocket closest to the action. Continue building artillery every turn and infantry when funds allow.
- 5Ongoing: Camp your medium tank on the road, with weaker units on fortified forest or city tiles. Always keep at least a tank or infantry between Kanbei and your artillery/rockets. Focus on damaging units to half-health, destroying only those at 3HP or lower. Prioritize damaging artillery, tanks, and medium tanks with artillery and rockets first, then tanks. Always check rocket ranges. Continue transporting infantry via APC to Kanbei's HQ for a potential 8-day HQ capture victory.
Tips
- Build a lot of indirect units.
- Do not use Max. Sami is acceptable, but Andy is recommended for his tanks and Hyper Repair CO Power.
- If any units get through the eastern bridge, you will likely fail. Block this bridge to limit Kanbei's attacking units.
- Protect your rockets, medium tank, and artillery.
- If Kanbei's rocket is not sufficiently damaged on Day 1, it may destroy your rocket on Day 2, costing 3000G. You need 16,000G to build a medium tank from the eastern base on Day 2.
- Be aware of enemy rocket ranges on Day 3 and Day 4.
- The HQ capture approach can lead to victory even if you cannot hold the eastern front.
- Kanbei does not defend his HQ, making an HQ capture possible.
- Focus on damaging multiple units rather than destroying one outright, unless they are at very low health.
