[@johnmartin6622]

I'll always remember when I first played the campaign years ago on a friend's DS, having Jugger get lucky and wipe out half my army. Then at 0:48 thinking the music is cooling off and I'd survived, out of nowhere it tags in Kindle - the worst, absolute "oh shit" moment...

Mission 24? Isn't that the one you clear in 3 days?

[@MrMoron-qn5rx]

@@randomguy-tg7ok do you mean in-game or irl? cuz it was 3 weeks for me

[@randomguy-tg7ok]

In-game. In both modes (or at least hard mode) there's a relatively well-known trick to beat Pincer Strike in three days. (The basic rundown, if I remember it correctly, is 'Get all the terrain traits as Sami, sacrifice all the blue units except for an APC and foot soldier and then Girl Power your way to an insta-cap on turn 3.)

[@butteredsalmonella]

@@randomguy-tg7ok Rain summons in the 3rd day, you don't clear it in 3 days, though its possible with a Sonja-Sami Tag.

[@randomguy-tg7ok]

Which is what I believe I was referring to.

[@smexykins3065]

Shaky Alliance will always be one of my favorite Tag Powers. HP back and dealing damage is pretty freaking nice. Also because of Hawke. Andy's alright too though.

[@fullanalysis93]

I like to think it's because of Hawke's and Andy's interaction in AW2 where Hawke wants to test Andy's strength as an opponent

[@robertharris6092]

Its a pretty great team. Hawke is clearly superior to andy day by day. And his super co is just insane on big maps. but andys super co is insane to. You'll heal 7 hp in 1 turn. As well as hurt them all for 2. So a 9hp power shift. And andy getting 120% attack and +1 movement on all units is crazy. Only "weak" point is the turn after you tag and are forced to use andy where all of your units are just neutral.

[@tadeogomez7303]

@@robertharris6092 Not if you switch to Andy the turn before the Double CO Power.

[@InternetMonster1]

I absolutely love the image here! With all the main villain characters and Sturm subtly in the back.

[@A_Different_Name]

I'll be honest, I was confused on why Greyfield and Waylon were here, as they aren't part of DoR's Black Hole. Like a month later I realized it was because those two use DoR's "Evil Power" theme

[@anotheruser7727]

Imagine if von bolt create a clone of Sturm in the last mission.

[@shawnbabaay2432]

That would be awesome! But the clone would overthrow the old bag!

[@nicocchi]

Honestly Dual Strike needed an unlockable Sturm, story be damned, for play with friends. That would make it the definitive Advance Wars for me Edit: Aside from Days of Ruin. Days of Ruin is the definitive Advance Wars already :^)

[@SkullOfGears]

(Thinking about what would happen of Sturm got cloned twice so he can make a Tag Power with himself) Welp, Two meteors pumbling us and then getting charged at twice by the main villain is more than enough for me to either flee in pure fear or dig my own grave....

[@MrxD-cg5xs]

You see, Von Bolt hat to make a decision here: 1) resurrect an all powerful warlord capable of singlehandedly invading and on multiple occasions almost completely destroying the four main military mights of Orange Star, Blue Moon, Green Earth and Yellow Comet and the only reason the Allied Forces exist in the first place, just to defeat him - in addition to that the founder of the very army that Von Bolt has been utilizing so far and nothing less of a tactical genius or 2) one big slimy boi

[@HiveFleetHydra]

Too bad Sturm wasn't in this game. A Sturm/Von Bolt tagteam would have been epically devastating.

[@ExecutiveSonda]

Howly shiiiwwt...

[@xLordEnder]

Well, if they were in the same game, You would have to expect to see your army of Mega, MD, and Neo tanks get freakin' wrecked, in one hit.

enless your using hawke.

[@IschmarVI]

I like how you actually have more time on hard to secure the missiles. Well, those Neotanks aren't helping, though.

[@Lunar_Inferno]

I actually had an easier time with mission 22 than 24. F*ck that fog man. Orange team is literally useless.

[@Superzeroize]

The key is rushing to block the most vulnerable silos early, before the Tag Power. Namely the furthest silo in Orange front, the Silo in the island in the blue frontline and all three in the green army frontline.

[@chairmanofrussia]

I barely got past that mission-it was between me with a low HP rocket launcher, and an enemy mech. At the very last minute, after being beaten half to the death by the AI, the mech decided to move away from the rocket launcher for whatever reason and I was able to win. If the AI had been just a little smarter I would not have been lucky.

[@Eboreg2]

When this theme plays, I use my Super CO Power: Cluster F-Bomb

[@MrMoron-qn5rx]

deal 2 dmg to random spaces in a 4x4 plus blast. enemies caught lose their movement and take 20% more dmg from everything, including attacks that normally deal a fixed amount of dmg. your units gain a 10% dmg resistance and attack bonus, allied units that have moved gain a second movement action that goes half as far, and attacks deal half dmg after a secondary movement seems good and broken, but idc

[@MrxD-cg5xs]

god this theme is so awesome! it really makes you feel like you are about to either get completely obliterated, or about to completely obliterate those in your way. and honestly, the more i listen to it, the more i think about what could have been if Von Bolt were to tag team with Sturm. just imagine this theme kicking in while your forces get entirely wiped out by those two, completely steamrolling anything and anyone that tries to stop them - i'd guess that Sturn and Von Bolt would probaply have a good synergy aswell, which would open up the possibility of their Dual Strike getting its own unique name (like "Orange Crush" from Jake and Rachel). i was thinking something like "Doomsday" would be a fitting name choice, no?

[@itsdripnovababy]
