Overview: For the veterans of the Advance Wars series, the suicide speed strategy makes its triumphant return. Rush the enemy HQ with the Bike while a Tank, Artillery, Recon, and Infantry are sacrificed for The Beast’s forces. The Mech must survive for the maximum score possible, which means it runs to the northwest corner.
The maximum score requires an insane amount of luck because The Beast must follow a specific sequence on day 2 in order to set up the power score.
If the reloads are getting to you, just destroy the northern Recon on day 2 to earn the S-rank. It’s considerably easier than getting the perfect storm of movement to happen on The Beast’s turn.
By allowing the Infantry to survive along with the Mech, the technique score can be increased to 126 pts. However, this requires that the Infantry survives along with the Mech. By keeping those two units as far from the action along with the use of defensive cover, you can buy enough time for your Bike to sneak in and finish the job.
Unfortunately, this does not change the amount of luck needed to make this guide work. On the other hand, you have a new score to show for your accomplishments.
