Can You Beat Advance Wars Dual Strike Without Losing Units?

In this video, I do a full playthrough of the Advance Wars Dual Strike Hard Campaign where I have to clear each mission with 0 losses. Can it be done? Let’s find out!

Leaving a like & comment is very appreciated, also you can watch my other Deathless runs here!

Fun Fact: if you deploy Hawke and Lash as one of the teams in Mission 23, you get some dialogue between them. Lash says that when she heard of the clone Olaf, she was afraid the real Olaf had heard about her joining the coalition and came to deal with her as revenge for destroying his hometown in AW2. Afterwards, she tells Hawke to keep the whole thing a secret from the other coalition COs. Neat little nod to the last game.

Game: "Theyre launching a missle in 30 minutes!"
Also game: "Day 5"

Final mission.

Von Bolt: "Maybe I shouldn't have fired Flak."

[Mangs]

This one took a full month to make. Enjoy guys

Okay one mistake I’ve seen you do here quite consistently is that, when in a sky fortress mission, you send up your fighters to the second front immediately.
Do not do that.
The tile these fighters will spawn in when you send them up is based on the tile you decided to send them up from. This means you can move your fighters in on the bottom screen and then on day 2 put them right into the enemy backlines, allowing them to immediately take out their black bombs in the process.
I don’t know if that is enough to make you not lose a unit on that front, however it does greatly increase the survivability of your army there.

[Abundy]

One thing that I find very cool in this challenge is how many unique CO combos come in clutch for certain missions (well aside from Colin + Sasha being slightly omnipresent)

[AndrewChumKaser]

The power meter you gain when your CPU joins your main army is not actually because of the CPU CO's power meter but it comes from your units that the CO controls you "lose" based on the unit value. It has nothing to do with the co's power meter, as far as I'm aware.

[MaiBoA]

You know the campaign is broken when Hachi was available but there were better options the entire time

[HomingRocket]

I think the main reason why Kanbai and Javier have a tag star is because they are honoured chivalry from their own respective culture. Kanbai being a Samurai and Javier being a European Knight.

[royalghost]

47:15 Lash casually breaking the fourth wall here.
"Probably just bolts or lint or an *egg* or something..."

[dropinota]

It feels so fitting that Flak got to be the CO to end the run with. "Yes! Here is Flak's power!" Great video Mangs, can't wait for the FE8 live stream.

[andreaswelsch]

28:48 @Mangs correction, its actually all the leftover funds from the secondary front that gets converted to Power Meter. Bunch of fighters = lots of power charge

[vonheer]

@44:20
Kanbei and Javier have a tag bonus because they are both traditional warriors. They are kindred spirits.

[garygameking]

Colin:"I don't know how wars work, big sister Sasha please teach me how to use these units."

-Proceeds to duo stump the whole campaign

[Renewablefrog]

I remembered getting stuck on an early mission in Dual Strike as a kid, and was waiting to see it pop up. And sure enough, Lightning Strikes, there it is. Seeing it actually be hard gave me a bit of vindication, and seeing you crush it without lossless, brings a smile to my face!

[gamermanzeake]

Defense stacking is indeed completely broken in this game. It is actually something I hope is changed in the Reboot Camp (if we ever get them!) Days Of Ruin fixed the terrible means of calculating defense against attack by subtraction rather than multiplication as attack is calculated.

[starempresshel]

Amazing video! Noticed four CO's weren't used during the entire playthrough which happened to be Hawke, Sami, Kindle and Jugger. Least Flak got to come in at the end as if angry that Von Bolt wasn't Sturm (Which shame he isn't a secret CO)

[Xen]

Thanks! Watching your different strategies for each mission is really interesting, I love this type of video. I'm so happy there is so much AW content even after so long, and you're a big part of that.

[xith]

Hey Mangs, I feel like this effort actually deserves something from me for once. This was the first DS game I ever got, and my introduction to Advance Wars in general. While Days of Ruin is my personal favorite, this one is a close favorite, so thanks for putting in the work.
