Topic: Advance Wars 2: The Final Front

I'm on the last mission on AW2, but it's hard as hell.  I never thought a game could get the best of me, but this is by far the hardest game I've ever played.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just got there, haven't made a serious attempt at it yet. I'll share any advice when I'm on the case.

Crazy Crap.  This game should have an easy and/or super kiddie mode!  This is also the hardest game I have ever played.  I haven't played it in a while (cuz its so damn hard), I've only done like, 8 missions (?)  and on the last couple I needed a step by step walkthru.  Holy crap in a box!

That final mission discourages me from playing the game, and I waited so long for it to come out.

God, what a brainwreck. Check the mission terms - apparently you only need to end that giant laser, just a 99 health structure. I think the key may be sending bombers out by themselves to the middle. If you just try to slug it out, you'll eventually get overpowered, and 30 days leaves no time for fancy crap.

I think Colin may be a good pick for the blue crew here, since he can spam units like no other.

Okay, I think this is the solution:

Choose Grit, Andy, Eagle

Grit and Andy need to hold their ground and not worry about advancing - just make sure the enemy doesn't capture your HQ (they will!) or destroy all of your units. If you lose one CO, you automatically lose the mission.

With Eagle, focus on creating bombers; move them up and blast through the pipe, then move them up behind the one cannon and blast through the double-pipe wall there and into the main enemy stronghold. They can own that laser cannon pretty fast, but keep on eye on what day it is; it fires every seven days and it would suck if it zapped your bombers.

This plan works. Remember to take advantage of Eagle's super CO power where you can move twice, aaaaaaand watch out for enemy bombers.

Whoo Hoo!!!!  I finaly kicked Sturm's @ss.  It was pretty difficult, but I finally did it, with an overall S-Rank.  I used Colin, Andy, and Eagle.  Speed=100 Power=83 Technique=100.  My finest gaming moment, I would like to thank S-U-P-E-R for helping make this all possible.
