A personal favorite in the Advance Wars series. No more happy kids and war crimes, now we just have regular old war crimes. Despite the massive tonal shift, the game still has a compelling narrative with fantastic music. The gameplay is at its tightest and leanest it's ever been, a breath of fresh air from how horribly unbalanced Dual Strike could be. An absolute necessity for fans of the series and fans of SRPGs in general.
