Advance Wars Mission 9A: Olaf's Navy! walkthrough for Andy vs Olaf. Features fog of war strategy and S-rank tips.
Walkthrough
- 1Day 1: Use Max. Put one mech into an APC and move it and another mech into a lander. Move the lander northeast along the bridge as far as possible. Move all other units north/northeast along the southern bridge, keeping recons last and your tank east of them. Move your battleship south to the reef and move your sub down to the battleship and dive it. Moving your ships south lures Olaf's battleships away from the southern bridge. Olaf will attack your lander with a tank.
- 2Day 2: Use your battleship and sub to target battleships, prioritizing the northernmost ones. Move your tank westward so your medium tank can reach Olaf's tank on the bridge. Use your medium tank to destroy Olaf's medium tank (or just medium tank if your rocket is out of range). Advance all other land forces eastward. Land your APC on the forest tile across the narrow sea and move the mech northward. Olaf will attempt to destroy your naval units.
- 3Day 3: Move your mech up two squares. A rocket is hidden on the forest tile two squares north of the mech's current position, across the river. Continue moving your other units eastward as far as they can go, except for western units that cannot move that far (e.g., infantry).
- 4Day 4: Drop off your mech within two squares of the HQ. Keep moving your remaining eastern units down the road towards the HQ. Move your mech up two squares to reveal the rocket.
- 5Day 5: Destroy the rocket with your mech and recon. Use your medium tank to destroy Olaf's tank. Have the mech begin capturing the HQ. Hold at the rivers and capture the HQ to win.
Tips
- This is a Fog of War mission. Do not attempt to destroy Olaf's entire navy or go to the northern bridge.
- The AI's actions may not be consistent day-to-day, but following the general strategy should lead to victory.
- In the original Advance Wars 1, it was possible to take out Olaf's navy differently, but the naval AI is smarter now.
