I think in Vs. mode, Sturm should have his offense like he does in the campaign. I attack alot more than I defend so i'd vote sturm have more defense:D

Offense when I'm fighting against him since usually, if you kill something, they can't fight back and I never use Sturm anyway.

CRAP.. i meant i want sturm to have offense.. i was busy playing doom and misplaced offense with defense:|

Id have more--OFFENSE-- because I go on the offense a lot!

GOTTA LOVE OFFENSE!!!!

Defense for me.A tough defense will rough things for your opponent.

Sturm with offence can be beaten by any CO if they can get the first strike on his strongest units

but with his extra defence he is able to defeat even Kanbei with ease

offence is only useful if you can guarantee a first strike defence however allows mistakes to be made with lighter consequences besides his lower firepower is almost unnoticable with units that would normally have died attacking where it hurts

since the AI is rather ummm, stupid, i prefer offense because you never really need to be on defense in VS mode. NEVER. but if the AI was smarter and could plan attacks by building a standing army then coming all at once in formation, directs in front, indirects in back then supported by stuff like bombers and B-ships, then i would want defense.

After all, its defence that gets you through everything. You can deal with offense by building more.

Sturm with defense, honestly, with offense it's like having a bomber strampling everything it runs into automatically. VSturm (V(Versus)S(versuS and the start of the name) is actually pretty fair, and makes it actually have STRATEGY.

I hate how you can't play him in War Room, however. -.-

you cant use sturm in AW? Sorry i have forgotten, refresh my memory would you?

You cannot use the offensive Sturm in Advance Wars, if you unlock him (by unlocking all COs other than Nell then purchasing him) this is his stats.

Campaign (AI) Sturm (A.K.A unlockable Sturm):

120% Offense (+20%) to all units.
80% Defense (-20%) to all units.
CO Power: Meteor Strike
Lands a Meteor the size of a 2x2 yard into the field, damaging all units in range by 8HP, including his own.

VSturm:

120% Defense (+20%) to all units.
80% Offense (-20%) to all units.
CO Power: Meteor Strike
Lands a meteor the size of a 2x2 yard onto the field, damaging all units in range by 4HP, including his own.

So his playable VS style CO Power is like a stronger Meteor, and he is more defensive, his D2D style is the opposite of Grimm from AWDS, and AI Sturm is the same as Grimm in D2D.

Sturm is only playable in VS mode, not War Room mode.

What? Sturm has lowered defense? I never knew that.
