Advance Wars: Rescue POWs from Adder

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle Mission 6: POW Rescue. This one's a Fog of War mission against Adder, and it's rated as a bit of a challenge (**** difficulty). The main thing to remember here is to keep your units grouped up. Since it's Fog of War, you can't see far ahead, so you don't want your fast units getting too far out in front of your slower ones.

Walkthrough

1
Day 1: Move all your units as far north as they can go. Be careful not to push too far east, or they might get caught in Adder's indirect fire.
2
Day 2: Use your Battle Copters to take out Adder's units first. Let your tanks handle damaging the anti-air units. Keep pushing north with the rest of your forces.
3
Day 4: Your tanks should focus on attacking the northwest mini-cannon. Position your indirect units so they can fire on it from a safe distance.
4
Day 5: Destroy that northwest mini-cannon. As you advance, use your Medium Tanks and Battle Copters to hit the next mini-cannon from both the north and south, staying just outside its range.
5
Mid-Game: Your units might get a bit spread out here, but keep your Recons near the front. They'll help you spot any dangerous anti-air or indirect units. When you reach the center, get your Rockets and Artillery into range so they can provide some defensive fire while you push through.
6
Late Game: Once you've broken through the center, use your Battle Copters to take out Flak units across the river. You can also send Mechs onto the mountains across the river to help locate Adder's remaining forces. Your Battle Copters and Mechs will be key in destroying most of Adder's units.
7
Regrouping: If your units have taken a lot of damage, don't be afraid to regroup. Wait for your remaining tanks and indirect units to round the last bend before making your final push.

Tips

Keeping units close is vital in Fog of War to avoid getting picked off by unseen enemies.
Prioritize taking out direct threats like mini-cannons and Flak units early.
Recon units are your eyes in Fog of War – use them to scout ahead and spot danger.
Don't overextend your forces; be prepared to wait for slower units to catch up.

Completing this mission will allow you to progress further in the campaign.
