BTW, whilst we're on the subject, does anyone know if the Japanese GBA games have an English language option? Or at the very least if the stats fields are labelled in English?

People still playing? only a handful of missions into the actual campaign so far. Lots of fun. May rock out a translation of gameboy wars now, i'm in the mood

Ok, I just had the most ridiculous battle. I fought through enemy lines, to get a squad of infantry to the enemy HQ, and started capturing it. All my other units were destroyed. Then a bomber comes out of nowhere and blows me to ****. My infantry has one health. Then, the bomber runs out of ammo and fuel, and explodes. I then spend the next 16 days capturing the sodding HQ, while the enemy does nothing. Lame. I got a D!Comment

Quite enjoying this as you may be able to tell. Just had a great battle
Got this game at launch, actually I remember being annoyed that the release date was knocked back because of 9/11 (also, Card Captors was not aired on that day, which was wank, since it was the only thing to look forward to after a hard day's getting beaten up at school). Gameboy Wars was the first video game I ever bought with my own money, at the age of about 7, maybe that's why I was eager to get Advance Wars . Funny story; I didn't actually realise it was a Japanese game, I was so excited to have made some money on my dad's market stall, I ran to the nearest stall and bought the only game I could afford. £8 as I recall. Had brilliant artwork though.Comment

ridiculously fond memories of this game.
not just the best handheld multiplayer ever - some of the best multiplayer I've ever played full stopComment

I don't know the questionable legality of it but someone did a multi player pc version of the GBA games specifically for PCComment

That's the best part! TBH it tends to get like that on the tougher maps. Even though you know you're on the road to victory the AI persists until the last and you end up having to rush its factories with recon and infantry units to stop them continually producing units until the CO runs out of fund.Comment

How many missions are there? I think my last one was 15 or something,

Ok, just finished it. nowhere near as long as I expected. For some reason I always assumed there were like a hundred missions or something. I guess if you factor in all the maps you can buy + all the branching paths, unlockable COs and all that guff, it's a lot longer. It was great fun, but I don't think I'll bother fannying around with most of that. By the end it was just stupidly difficult really. Everything was fine til the last 2 battles,
. In the end it was still fun though, just annoying I had to look up a basic strategy to try. Probably never would have managed it without clues.
The
theme music is ear shatteringly badass, but after hearing the same portion over and over again on each of the enemy's moves. i decided to put on tenacious D's break-in city instead, great for when I was finally busting in on his turf and capturing all his ****. (lyrics NSFW)

On to Advanced mode next Mr. Hat! Go to the screen where you buy maps, hold Select and press A I believe. Enjoy
