Advance Wars (Game Boy Advance) Walkthrough, Secrets & Cheat Codes
Advance Wars is won by capturing properties, not by wiping the enemy. The winning loop: Infantry/Mechanics seize cities and factories (for income and unit production), then use your Commanding Officer's CO Power at the decisive moment. Andy's hyper-repair and a numbers advantage beat raw aggression.
1Game Basics
A turn-based tactics game where you command armies on grid maps against an AI CO.
2Core Gameplay
Each unit has strengths vs. types (Tanks beat Infantry; Fighters beat Bombers; Subs beat Ships). Properties give income; capturing them funds more units. COs have a meter that charges as you fight and unleashes a battlefield-wide Power.
3Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Turn 1: send Infantry and Mechanics to capture nearby cities and the HQ/factory.
- Build a balanced mix — a few direct units (Tank) plus indirect support (Artillery/Rockets).
- Keep indirect units behind a front line; they are fragile but hit hard.
- Save your CO Power for a turn that swings the battle (Andy's repair, Max's brawl, etc.).
- Win by capturing the enemy HQ or eliminating their army once you out-produce them.
4Hidden Secrets & Easter Eggs
Some COs (like the hidden ones) unlock via linked multiplayer saves or in-game milestones depending on the version — a classic 'bring two cartridges' secret of the era.
5Cheats & Codes
No cheat codes; uses a save file. Emulator save states let you replay a tough AI turn until optimal.
