I suck at Advance Wars 2

Im up to the final battle on Orange Star (well the final battle of the whole training campain thing) where you have to blow up the pipe that feeds the factory with a bomber.

I can never get it all fast enough and he always gets out rockets by the time I have enough to actually build a bomber, and also by that time he has out about three or four tanks, bunch of artilleries and other heavy shit that I cant compete with due to my very slow funds and limited movement on getting to his side of the map (mountains and forests and such kind of slow down tanks and infantry).

So whats the best way to get past this guy.

If I remeber right, you basically ignore one half of his forces, I think they were stuck behind this pipe, and you could (paying attention to his lng range unit's range) get around it without engaging many of his units.

I might have a later mission in mind

Well I can get into the Air factory in two turns and then take the city next to it and the factory under the Air on pretty fast too.

But if you ignore the other factories and cities (two cities and a factory on the far left) he can send a few ground troops, take them over, and flank you from behind with tanks and infantry and you get boxed in.

I can't remember exactly what I did to beat this mission, but I distinctly remember that that mission seemed harder to me than the any of the next 20 or so.

This game was awsome! Im waiting on the release for the ds... I beat it twice.. once on normal and once on hard. Been a long while back and cant help you. Sorry.

this whole game was okay till the last stage.
i couldnt get past that worth anything.
never beat it, but am getting aw ds, think it's the 24th or something.
cant wait.

oh man, this game pisses me off so much...

but I never learn my lesson, Advance Wars DS is calling me.

I too am really looking forward to the release of Dual Strike! I have played through Black Hole Rising numerous times. If you haven't managed to get through the stage yet, post again and I can give you an indepth solution.

Yeah I havent even tried again yet. Gotta recharge my DS.

I was trying to scan the pages on it in the guide I have for it but I just got the scanner and suck with it so I keep messing up the scan. If I can get it right I'll put em up.

Alright, if you haven't finished the map yet here is what you do. It is actually a very easy map, once you know what to do! Step one, Sammy is the gal to have, infantry are a big part of this one.

Make infantry and APC immediately! Take them to that first base to the west. Meanwhile produce more infantry and APC and set your eyes to those neutral cities in the far west. BUT, get that base and then get the airport! A few turns later you may have to jam an APC in front of the airport to hold the enemy back. But keep it. Then make progress in the far west, this will distract them from the airport. Ultimately you will need to get a tank near that airport to blow up an artillery or even worse, a rocket launcher that may get produced. When you have the west secure send excess infantry to those more northern neutrals, and flood the far west with infantry (Sammy does this well). Usually black hole will respond irrationally to kill them, like tanks and "people grinders" (recons and anti-air units), but just keep making them. You eventually will be in economic power and blow that pipe connection with a battle copter. The key to this battle though is that western factory.

Hope this helps!
