Master Mission 9M: Blizzard Battle! with Max. Learn strategies for capturing properties, defeating Olaf's forces, and securing victory in this Advance Wars walkthrough.
Alright, let's tackle Mission 9M: Blizzard Battle! with Max. This is the tough version where Olaf's got more units, but Max's stronger tanks give us the edge for a faster win. Our main goals are to capture all the neutral properties on our side of the river, snag one on the east side, and crucially, stop Olaf from taking any cities on our turf. Those early mechs and infantry can be surprisingly dangerous, so we need to deal with them fast.
Walkthrough
- 1Day 1: Initial Push
On day 1, we're moving all units north. Grab a mech with your APC. We want to get that mech near the northwest neutral base. Use your tanks to take out Olaf's artillery and rocket first. Then, have your mechs and infantry focus on his two mechs west of the river. The goal here is to prevent them from capturing anything. Remember, the AI often targets APCs and infantry capturing cities, so use that to your advantage. - 2Securing the North
After dealing with those initial mechs, we need to capture the northern base. Simultaneously, move your tanks towards both bridges to intercept any infantry trying to cross and capture properties. - 3Mid-Game Strategy
Once that northern position is secure, we can shift focus. Build more speedy direct units like tanks. Only build infantry if it doesn't prevent you from building a tank next turn. If you still have your starting medium tank, use it to take out Olaf's remaining medium tank. - 4Defending and Advancing
Keep pushing tanks north and east. We need to defend our side of the bridges and take out any infantry, tanks, or artillery trying to cross. The easiest neutral city to capture is likely the one on the northern side. - 5Clinching Victory
Continue attacking with tanks and advancing with infantry on both fronts. Secure the bridges, and then push to capture a city on the eastern side of the river. That's how we'll clinch the victory!
Tips
- Focus on building tanks; they're key for a fast victory with Max.
- Use your mechs and infantry to tie up Olaf's early units and prevent captures.
- Don't let Olaf get a foothold on your side of the river – those early units are critical to stop.
- The AI's targeting priorities can be exploited; use infantry and APCs as bait if needed.
