Trying to get back into the swing of things, we are going to put out another Advance Wars video so people know I'm still alive. In this one, we will be going up against one of my favorite COs, Grit. You have to either be a little strategic or a little patient to get the most out of him, but he can be a very nasty opponent if you're comfortable throwing wave after wave of infantry at your enemy while the indirects poke from safety. He is one of the ones who thrive with the Crawling Zombie (Phalanx) strategy, but you just need to be patient enough to push forward. Alternative, he can be very nasty with ambushes during Fog of War. Basically, he can load units into trees and you have to be very careful when navigating through forests. Depending on how much he has to play with in terms of funds, you can run into surprise after surprise as he whittles you down. Just watch for the APCs and you can get an idea of where to attack and where to avoid. As for this mission, it is still tutorial stuff, but Grit actually hurts, unlike Olaf. He has a few indirects to give you a taste of what he can do, but we don't let him set up any bottlenecks, so he can't take advantage of his range as much as he could with a human playing.

Otherwise, we will be venturing back into new terrain sooner than you may expect. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrZ4_17w5oc

This is a "world tour" sort of video where we go around and make small talk around the land. Sadly, I can't do everything right now, as there are some places that will unlock after doing quests. So it may seem a bit brief compared to last time, but there will be more conversation later. When all of that is said and done, we will be free to spend the bonding points and head on down to Crossbell... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAb4majZoww

Should you wish to preserve AI, you will need to remember the name of the woman who lived in the Garden of Eden. With this choice, you get to save the crew and get the mission as close to righted as possible. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtX0p52oq0
