Can I WIN This Advance Wars Tournament?? 

"I delete all my units do i don't give him power charge" "Then i build 4 missiles, which he can attack for power charge"

Oh hey. I was in this tournament. I lost round one though. Good luck with the future bouts Mangs.

That was an absolutely incredible play at 14:23 "boom"

I had to hold myself from laughing at the ending at work. That was such a power move.

That ending was the equivalent of teabagging in Advance Wars

This is a map that I believe completely throws off the balance of high funds. Normally in high funds, powers charge so quickly that power focused COs are a bit higher tier and day to day COs get dropped to lower tiers, but on this map the initial battle for the island is so critical that day to day powers become better. I will go as far as to say that Lash would dominate against anyone in tier 4 including Adder, be favored in tier 3 and even hold her own in tier 2 on this map. I also think that not sending your black boat off of your lab to pick up infantry on day 1 is a mistake. In my game I even brought a mech to the island to get that little bit of extra firepower and defense for the island battle.

Loving the Command and Conquer music in the back! We want more! Also fun match!

Besides the battleship you point out, Mrmoomoo395 could have also built rockets at the base south west of the lab. Would have been clearly inferior (baselock), but would have prevented cap.

Yo Mangs!, you could have gotten your western B-Copter to the enemy Lab a Day sooner if you had used the Black Boat to block the SW enemy Anti-Air, and take a more direct route instead. I used that technique in my own game. You got lucky that your opponent didn't do a Day 2 quad drop on the island. Good luck getting back from that situation. Congrats on the Day 9 win. I was lucky enough to get the same result. This map has some absolutely nasty sharp lines that Player 2 or Player 1 can exploit to their benefit.

"That's a Sussy Harbor Location" damn it Mangs now I'm going to have that thought in my head for awhile.

Nice C&C: Tiberian Dawn music there Mangs, I can always count on you to have good taste! Only problem was I had to run off to the music playlists to confirm it wasn't Red Alert 1 or Tiberian Sun. I wouldn't have had to do that if you used Mechanical Man instead!

Is that Command and Conquer classic music? Not something I expected to hear in an advance wars video. Good taste!

This is equivalent to the quick queen/bishop checkmate and your opponent couldn't recognize it until it was too late.

I was watching this fight constantly. I knew the tides changed when you had that lab overwhelmed. Well done.

As soon as I saw that harbor, I KNEW a Battleship was going to come out at some point... Poor MrMooMoo...

Nice match and interesting use of command and conquer OST

I am coping hard...but ai emblem will be soon!

The absolute DISRESPECT I love it

Oh. This is still on-going. I participated myself. I won my first match and but lost the 2nd match. The first match was kinda boring for me as my opponent wasnt very skilled. The 2nd opponent was really good though so I had a fierce and fun match. For this map, I didnt realize at the start it would turn into an island rush so I used Jess. My enemy also made the same mistake and used Jess too though lol. I got copters in the island first and I won. The side island battles are really a side priority here. Well, good luck Mangs. I look forward to the 2nd match. I lost in that match so I would like some tips there. I have a bad streak of winning the first match in tournaments but losing the 2nd match for all three tournaments I joined in. Standard, Fog and High Funds. Oof.

the quad missles was the icing on the cake

Damm what a BM move. Evil magns rising.

Hey! Command and Conquer Soundtrack was an amazing edition to the video! I really love it! (And the video too)

14:05 Shoulda built missiles.

Quite happy I saw the same issue other dude made in regards to the centre. I was like "clearly a battleship with a good foothold just wins right?" Then 4 turns later "Boom!" battleship that wins the game. Great match!

Egg god has stomped cow god. JTQWN gotta see this. Blunder on a blunder blunders the blunder...

I'm a casual player so i might be wrong but I think missile-Chan was the MVP. as soon as they showed up opponent got scared and resigned. Well played.

I have been chill on the commentary, but I am going to try my hand at this: 1:36 Seen this player a few times in the Egg Cup. 2:10 I do agree that Adder is the best pick, but not for the reasons you mentioned. It does not feel like the fluid mixed base maps you see because there is limited scope for front shifting and maneuverability by ground units. As such, air units have an advantage here. Good news for you is that the airports are easy to reach early on. You need it. Koal being Adder lite is a nice touch, but on one set of islands, 2 contest properties have 2 adjacent roads. Snag a comm tower and those properties are there for you to take. Much preferred to Jake whose package here is a bit more dubious. 3:52 The centre island feels decisive, but if you just bring infantry there, I doubt they can do much by themselves vs your opposing infantry.By themselves, they can hold until your strong side overpowers the bases and then bring air units to come in. So you still need to defend your weak side bases a little bit. You could build B Copters early, but you need a plan early on to evade the AA if it ever comes out. (In hindsight, it was easy to do if you have a specific purpose for those B Copter) 5:30 Because your strongside only has a difference of 1 airport, so your infantry build up will be very slow, and the distance is a bit large to cover. 5:35 I am guessing Moo wanted to grab more properties earlier on and then lump 2 infantry into the centre rather than one? It does leave one property uncaptured for a bit longer than It should though. 7:33 Opening two tanks on strong side, I think he is impatient for some action by deploying them there, or he is not as confident of warding off AA just yet. 8:05 Ah, you got the plan now. Notice on his turn that he is now forced to build 2 AA cos the B Copters will get there too slowly to operate offensively, so here is the power of initiative. 10:32 It will threaten next turn, for now it is providing token cover, followed up by 2 Mangs infantry moments. That is definitely the you I see there. Got lucky that your opponent is not in a good position to respond immediately. 11:17 It may be strong side vs weak side, but this feels like a risky move. I don’t see much coordination other than a simple tank chain. 11:30 He kind of have to do it this way, otherwise he has to build a second AA. His SE island northern side is a bit open. 12:15 Ahh battleships in HF. With Moo’s passive play you can easily afford this. 13:10 Two AAs on NE island, feels a bit sus, but lucky you you have two tanks to offer some defence and your opponent’s sus BCopter play there gives some room for you. Also their infantry is a bit out of position. 13:30 I think your opponent is planning to overrun the weak side here for unfettered B Copter access. Normally ok, but Moo is not respecting the strategic map state here. 14:36 Simply a gigachad move there. No comments. Izanagi is a much stronger opponent. This one felt like you knew what the map is about and your opponent didn't respect map state.

Good choice of music. Frank Klepacki is peak.

That was very, very well played! GG! Good luck on the tournament!

Koal isn't the best choice on this map, hell even Adder is sub optimal. Lash is the clear best choice thanks to better Infantry (and Mech!) combat on the central island, doubly so if she lands first since the 2nd player doesn't want to fight into boosted Lash Infantry or Mechs. Player 1 can even fight into the dreaded quad landing from Player 2 thanks to her strength.

Spoilers : MAN, THE DISRESPECT, OHHHHHHHHHHH I feel SO bad for Mr. Momo, may he find peace

Starflash won on this map in a mere 4 days by going super hard asap on the center island.

I am in this tournament too. Some how i manage to get to the thrid round. And since i get a Javier vs Grit machup, It look like I have chances to get to the final of my bracket.

Good luck mangs, you will need it for the tournament

Delete all remaining units for a quad missle push... XD

This map is super cheesable by p1 by skipping almost all your cities and just diving into the center. If your opponent doesnt match, they lose the center and both ports, leading to bship dominance and an uncounterable swarm of boats. If they do match it, theyre 1 turn too slow to land on the center properties. Arguably Sami or Lash are the only viable picks.

The only way I can think of a more BM move at the end would be to build transports instead of missiles, one could argue they could shoot down enemy aircraft on this map.

Your opponent was playing a completely different game lmao

Just found you recently, love your content ❤

BM or not, if he couldn't tell what you were planning, that's on him. I mean, I'm not even close to anything resembling an AW expert, and my first thought when you said it was high funds was "Mangs is gonna make a beeline for the middle island and start cranking out battleships."

Damn, that was a nice play, gg!

The quadra mangs missile 😂

This tournament is crazy. I’m on Round 4 right now, waiting for an opponent, which I consider crazy since I currently have a losing record on High Funds.

Damn that was a good fight, good job.

I want to see Grimm beat-up small kid Koal.

Hey Mangs, are you gonna make a video about the contest on AWBW to create 4 new teams, or are you maybe even creating your own?

You might want to put "Part 1" so we can see the later parts in order

0:30 I wouldn't say that was your last tournament, you entered that mixed base tournament right? lol

Mangs I have a question. I've been playing andaron saga recently but What does apprehension do when Colter and rodd get an a support with each other I never get this far to know I get stuck way to often between chapters (and your fe stream recaps are always fun to watch and your content is a blast)

Never thought about deleting units to demy my opponent getting charge by attacking them. So interesting!

Finally Mangs is casting a game where Koal will win.

Tsk Mangs... floundering around your Missiles like that... ;-)

Good win and I agree, very gimmicky map.

No way your face at the miniature lmao

The music ❤❤❤❤❤

Egett og kuen spiller med kuller? Det er underligt!

Good game, well played.

egg god

Wow, you won fast lol

Vengeance

The disrespect. I love it.

he looks like his oc co lol

eso fue muy cruel Mango🥭

i hope mangs plays grit if we get to tier 2

I gotta stop clicking these or I'll get addicted again

i know jj was on a time crunch but jesus christ, should have picked a different map. or at least land lock the hq bboat. this map is just so bad.

Nice

Okay BMangs

No

Punching down

My guy...

Ya did your homework for the map, and your opponent didn't, but that's still bm on a somewhat unbalanced map.

okay if this is a lab race map why not use sami?

Heyyy

Would I miss much if I skipped Wargroove 1 and went straight to 2?

Halllo

🥚

No.

Nah
