Olaf? Easy peasy. Eagle? Piece of cake after we learnt how to win Mission 06 in Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp. But what about Kanbei? He’s a tough cookie. Which is why it’s time I showed you how to win Mission 12 in Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp.
This mission is interesting because, on the surface, it looks extremely easy. However, looks can be deceiving.
Although Kanbei isn’t as aggressive as Eagle, his Morale Boost CO Power enhances his Units no end.
And if you don’t know where to position your Units to avoid heavy fire, you’ll lose this battle in spectacular fashion. This is where I come in: I have the know-how to help you win Mission 12 so that you earn yourselves another S Rank.
How To Win Mission 12 In Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp
The key to winning Mission 12 is to use Max as your CO. Max does more damage with his direct attacks, which allows you to take out Units quickly.
Of course, it isn’t just about choosing the right CO; you also need to use the terrain to your advantage.
At the beginning of the fight, pull your Units back behind the mountains between you and Kanbei. Not only will this give you great cover while you attack, but the enemy can’t cross this type of terrain.
I’d also suggest you keep an eye on the attack range of your enemies at all times, just like I taught you how to do in our best Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp beginner tips article. If you do this, you’ll protect your Medium Tanks and Missiles, aka the big guns, from harm.
Another piece of advice you should know is that one lonely enemy Tank will retreat to refuel, so chase it down before it returns to full HP. By the time this Unit runs away, you shouldn’t have many other enemies left in your way.
By starting off with indirect attacks, then unleashing Max’s increased damage once the enemy is tired and close-by, you’ll win Mission 12 without any problems.
As great as it is knowing how to win Mission 12 in Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp, there’s no time to rest and recuperate because Kanbei isn’t done with you yet.
