[DS] Advance Wars: Happy Fun Apocalypse

I went back to Dual Strike pretty quickly. I missed that zany (Super) CO Power shit too much, and people are more anal about the rules than Smash Bros' tourneyfags.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Honestly, there are few times in any given battle where it's wiser to use her Power than whoring out her Zone. Most people tend to disperse their troops when she's about to max her CO bar, so it's better to just sit around with the bar maxed.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For the kind of mission you've described? Use Lin, send the infantry into the mountains, and just start probing with recons and the cheapo units. Whenever you pass a good point for artillery/rockets/anti-tanks and the enemy isn't already there, bunker down with them. Take advantage of any and all forests, of course.

If you're playing a human, the best advantage you have isn't cover, but rather the enemy's ignorance of your progress on the map. If you come to a forest that you're pretty sure the enemy has, don't bother making your presence known. Move around their assumed line of sight and wait for a good opportunity to attack. Unless you have a fantastic defensive line set up that'll pummel the shit out of your opponent. Then just stay put or carefully draw them out with bait.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
