You've got infantry, mechanized infantry, light tanks, medium tanks,
scouts, APCs, artillery, rocket launchers, helicopters, bombers,
fighters, AAA, Anti-Air Missiles, Troop transports, submarines,
sub-hunters, and battleships. And I'm sure I've forgotten one or two.
The AI will quickly train you not to make stupid mistakes, and you can
kick it up to the harder level if it's too easy at first. I bought
this for a long plane trip (~14 hours) and couldn't put it down.
I also have Tactics Ogre, which is good, but the controls are not as
streamlined as Advance Wars. A good-sized battle in Tactics Ogre can
take an hour, easily.
Advance Wars 2 is due out Q4 2003, I think.
