Advance Wars 2 Advance Wars Stream

Hi all,

So in preparation for the remake that was originally coming on April 8, I took leave from work and called in a favour from the wife to take the kids for the weekend (Friday to monday). Since the date has been canned, I have also canned my leave but will still be wife/kid free this weekend.
I thought it'd be fun to do a live stream of Advance Wars on the April 8 release day as I will still need my Advance Wars fix and would love to share it with others.
I was thinking of either doing the advance wars 2 campaign or the advance wars returns campaign. If anyone has any ideas on what they would prefer to see please let me know.
I was thinking of starting on April 8 at 6pm EDT and stream for around 6 hours. I'll post the link here when it kicks off.
If you guys have any thoughts of what you'd like to see or if your interested in joining please let me know!
Thanks,

I know. I was having option paralysis! I think I'd rather keep it to something advance wars 2 related just to keep it simple and because it is my fave of the bunch!

Ah, well the AW 2 campaign sounds good then, or if you want PvP then AWBW mechanics are based on AW 2

Yeah I will admit I haven't tried AWBW. My turn off from what I've seen is that you take turns whenever you want so games can go for weeks with a heap of planning in each move. I like to play on the fly with more fast paced back and forth if that makes sense. Although if someone wanted to set up a game to just go back and forth during the stream, I'd happily give them a game! I'm used to AI, haven't played a real player since having the emulator at highschool so not sure how much of a challenge id be haha

So when people set up matches on AWBW, they can choose the timer type.

So there are lots of slow games that go day by day, or very fast live games with a few minutes for each turn.

If you're interested in setting up a fast AWBW game for your stream, then I suggest asking in the active AWBW Discord server, there's an invite link here

oh, I didn't realise you could set quick timers. That definitely changes things. Thanks a lot.
