How To Counter Indirect Spam In Advance Wars

You always put out good advance wars videos Mangs, but I want to see more of this Dangs guy's stuff. He seems very big brained. You should post more collabs with him.

90% comments: about Dangs 10% comments: about the actual strategy that were talked about here.

Dangs counted up that the War Bonds got about 30K and then even before factoring in repair costs, the Urban Blight ended up reducing the army's value by about 30K. Also something that probably makes a power like War Bonds even less useful is because it encourages the player to go out of position and take a lot of engagements, it's not the same as other powers where you just hit the button and get a free benefit.

the actual lesson here is do not respond with medium tanks when your opponent is making neo tanks.

Broke: Mangs Woke: Wangs Legend: DANGS

Mangs: gets his name wrong Dangs: plays along with that mistake

"Unless you are Grit" "Except for Grit" that sentence makes giggle every time, possum man is too stronk to be sensible

Kindle may be the best designed AW CO. Her abilities are extremely strong, but conditional, and a smart player can play around them. Also her head is a candle.

Now we need a match between Mangs and Dangs. Jokes aside, thanks for the informative video. It was a very good example of how difficult it is to move and position your indirects in order to be effective, specially in this mode where you can build units that can out maneuver them (such as the Neotanks or Bombers) much more easily.

Ah yes, Dangs, my favorite AW youtuber XD

And when the enemy saw what was happening, they said “Dang”.

It may not have been a high-level match, but you really showed the power of high-level thinking, where you realize that Mobility and Initiative are more important than just Position and Attrition.

Mangs, Wangs, Dangs… are these the triplets of the channel??? :_mangsEggchamp:

Out of curiosity, I did the tracking of all 3 rockets and the artillery for all the game. Day 6 : build the first rocket and the artillery in strong side. Day 12 : in strong side, the rocket shoot a infantry on a city who destroy the artillery the round before, reducing to 8 to 1, so 800 funds. Day 13 : while super power, in weak side, the rocket shoot a infantry caping the city in the highly contested arena (but couldn't shoot anywhere else), reducing 10 to 3, gaining 350 funds, so let's add this up to 1050 funds impact by this attack. Cost of all indirects : 51 000 invested for an impact of 1850 funds in the game. Well sure, we can't really measure the impact of zoning, because you did adapt to his spam, so it is worth something in my book. But you did adapt, his rockets were useless because endangered or just out of position, so they never fire. At some point I was like "shoot with your goddamn rockets, even though it's gonna die next turn, at least they are gonna do something"

“They will continue to use the cheese until they learn they can’t get away with it.” Which I thankfully learned the first time I tried it. Probably because I was extra dumb and played Grit with no tanks. That does not work on AWBW like it might in War Room, both because you’re fighting real people and because AWBW official maps use a way different design philosophy. Again, I was probably extra dumb in my case, but that just meant I saw the future that will come from people learning to counter lead indirect spam, where trying that spam is just asking to die.

Godmang, Dangs that was absolutely awesome!

The best thing about High Society is that you’re effectively only dealing with one superpower if she and her partner get their dual strike in the campaign. No seriously, I almost laughed when I realized this meant she wasn’t going to insta-interrupt my caps once.

Mangs: Get's his name wrong. Me: Aw dang it.

I joined AWBW and won my first league match this weekend. Now I just have to channel my inner Voice of Akasha and I will get to the 1000s in no time.

In the short time I was on AWBW, I did indeed try high funds. Granted, it was by accident: screwed up the global league filter, was trying to only have normal matches and ended up with everything except normal matches. That said, absolutely enjoyed high funds, really love having the economy to get some of the better units out consistently. Certainly a problem I deal with in the games themselves. And definitely helpful when I wanna indirect spam myself: I don’t like using artillery much despite respecting the range, but I love rockets. Oddly, I don’t really see high funds as chaos, as you described it. A fast track to late game units, but that can open up more room for skill. Not to mention keep a losing player from simply not having the economy to even fight back anymore. Case in point, one of the only matches I won on the site, a mirror Hawke match that happened to be high funds. Lots of high value units, but the result was anything but chaos. Instead, it was just a match worthy of Hawke, a respectable display of power on both sides. I haven’t had the best time on AWBW, but I am still proud of that one match; would’ve been my favorite even had I lost, we were just that evenly matched in the best way.
