Mission 24: The Final Battle! (2)

Master Mission 24 of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp! Learn Sturm's weaknesses, CO strategies for Max, Andy, and Kanbei, and how to win the final battle.

Alright, this is it – the big one, Mission 24, 'The Final Battle! (2)'. Sturm's throwing everything he's got at you, and this time it's a full-on 3-on-1 brawl. Don't sweat it though, we'll get through this together.

Enemy CO: Sturm

Your COs: All COs are usable, but Sonja is out. Your starting lineup is Max, Olaf, and Grit on the left; Andy in the center; and Sami, Eagle, Drake, and Kanbei on the right. The game recommends Max and Kanbei for the flanks due to their strong direct units, and honestly, that's a solid choice for pushing quickly.

Sturm's Advantage: Sturm gets a significant unit advantage right from the start. He'll have an extra bomber, medium tank, and two infantry on both the left and right flanks. In the center, he'll have an additional medium tank and five mechs. So yeah, he's starting strong, but we've got a plan.

General Strategy:

• Focus on Direct Units: The key here is to advance your direct-damage units as fast as possible towards Sturm. Don't get bogged down.
• Capture Cities: Make sure to capture cities to boost your production capabilities across all your bases. More production means more units to throw at Sturm.
• Spread Out: Try to keep your units a bit separated. This is crucial to avoid Sturm's CO Power wiping out too many of your powerful advancing units at once.
• Don't Fear Unit Loss: You can afford to lose more units than usual and still get the maximum technique points. So, prioritize speed and aggression over preserving every single unit.

CO Breakdown & Strategy:

Center: Andy

• Day 1: Stay out of Sturm's CO Power range. Your main job is to build mechs to act as damage sponges for Sturm's CO Power.
• Production: Alongside mechs, build regular tanks, anti-air units, and medium tanks as needed.
• Survival is Key: Andy is the most vital CO on this map. If Andy falls, you're likely to lose the whole map. Make sure he survives.

Left Flank: Max

• Production: Focus on building a ton of medium tanks. A few anti-air units will also be helpful, especially to support Andy in the center.
• Exploit Max's Strength: Remember, Max can often go toe-to-toe with Sturm. If Sturm gets distracted by Andy or the right flank, take advantage of Max's power to push hard.

Right Flank: Kanbei

• Production: Build medium tanks and a few anti-air units to support the offensive push.
• Tank Power: Kanbei is the second-strongest tank user after Max, so leverage his direct combat units to pressure Sturm from the right.
