Master Mission 33: Hot Pursuit (2) in Advance Wars with this detailed walkthrough. Learn strategies for Kanbei, Andy, and Grit to defeat Sturm and his Black Cannons.
Walkthrough
- 1Day 1: Kanbei captures cities with mechs, moves artillery north, and builds 3 infantry. Andy moves mech via APC, drops it north, builds 1 infantry and 1 artillery. Grit moves mech via APC, drops it north, builds 1 artillery and 1 infantry.
- 2Day 2: Kanbei finishes capturing, moves units south of mini-cannons, builds 2 infantry and 1 artillery. Andy moves mech to capture neutral airport, APC with infantry east, builds 1 infantry and 1 artillery. Grit moves mech to capture neutral base, builds 1 artillery and 1 infantry.
- 3Day 3: Kanbei uses artillery to attack, infantry to capture neutral bases, builds 2 artillery and 1 infantry. Andy and Grit take defensive positions, building 2 artillery (Andy) and 1 artillery and 1 tank (Grit).
- 4Days 4-5: Sturm's forces arrive. Kanbei: Move artillery behind infantry wall, attack expensive units first, build artillery and infantry. Andy & Grit: Damage anti-air, rockets, and tanks. Keep artillery out of range. Build artillery and infantry. Avoid naval units.
- 5Day 6: Prepare for Sturm's Super CO Power (Meteor Strike). Separate artillery units for Kanbei and Grit. Try to have Andy take the Meteor Strike. Kanbei builds only infantry. Attack units not in the strike zone.
- 6Days 7-9: Focus artillery on Sturm's middle forces. Damage remaining side units. Build artillery. Avoid using Kanbei's CO Power while Sturm is powered up. Use Kanbei and Grit's CO Powers for attack/defense boosts (target Neotanks, then medium tanks).
- 7Day 8 or 9: Minimize the chance of a second Meteor Strike hitting Kanbei. Ideally, have it hit Andy or Grit. If Andy takes it, use Hyper Upgrade to restore artillery. Kanbei can then move artillery back and destroy remaining Neotanks and medium tanks.
Tips
- Kanbei has better attack/defense (130%).
- Andy can take Meteor Strikes (Super CO Power Hyper Upgrade).
- Grit has additional indirect range.
- Prioritize building artillery units.
- Use infantry to form a defensive wall for your artillery.
- Prevent Sturm from capturing neutral bases or airports.
- Avoid attacking naval units unless necessary, as it charges Sturm's Super CO Power.
- Coordinate CO Powers for maximum effect, especially against Sturm's strongest units.
- Try to bait Sturm's Meteor Strike onto Andy if possible, utilizing his Hyper Upgrade.
