Advance Wars Mission 21A: Battle Mystery! (Andy) (2) walkthrough. Learn the strategy for this Fog of War map against Drake, including unit movements and naval attacks.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Day 1: Load a medium tank (south) and recon (east) onto the western shore lander. Load a rocket (on forest) and tank onto the eastern shore lander. Move your eastern cruiser, subs (dive the subs, with the eastern sub one step from the all the way east position), and battleship to the north/east. Keep your western cruiser in the same spot and dive that sub. Your eastern rocket should be in position to attack naval units on turn 2.
  2. 2
    Day 2: Use your battleship, rocket, and sub to attack Drake's battleship. Use your western lander to reveal the enemy sub, and your cruiser to weaken it. Do not move your eastern sub or cruiser further north due to a battleship in the east. Move your medium tank south and have the recon attack the artillery. Your eastern tank should attack the recon. Move your eastern lander back to transport remaining units. Move your APC to the eastern shore to refuel subs later.
  3. 3
    Day 3: In the east, use your battleship to attack Drake's battleship and your sub to attack his sub. Use your rocket to attack the artillery and your tank to attack the recon. In the west, destroy the enemy sub with your cruiser. For remaining naval units, use unit matchups and your rocket to hit any cruiser in range.
  4. 4
    Land Advance: Keep advancing your tanks to attack infantry and tanks (including one medium tank), focusing on moving east.
  5. 5
    Naval Cleanup: After taking out the eastern battleship, sub, and cruiser, race around the northeast island with your cruisers, subs, and landers. Keep your battleship north of the bridge on the reef. Place your battleship and rocket in range of the reef within distance of the two northern islands.
  6. 6
    Final Push: Bring any naval unit down to a lander hidden on the northern reef in the eastern sea. Drake has two more cruisers and a sub in that sea. Use your battleship, rocket, and/or diving sub to take out the lander and win the mission.
Tips
  • The AI may not act consistently, but following the general strategy should lead to victory.
  • Dive your submarines (sub) to keep them hidden.
  • Use your APC to refuel your submarines (subs) on the eastern shore.
  • Pay attention to unit matchups when engaging enemy naval units.
  • The lander's position has moved two reefs up and is now within battleship firing distance.
