is it lightning strikes not sure long time since i played hard campagin

it is hard i might have a guide

Mission 8 is the one where you have to blow up the base in the sky and the crystal on the ground I can't beat it either. This is the first time you fight with both screens (I haven't got past it so I don't know if you do it again).

Have you beaten the level or do you still need some pointers. I got stuck on this level for awhile also just because of all the confusion of playing on both screens. If you need more help don't be afraid to ask.

I am still stuck but it is mission 9 that i am stuck on it is the one we were talking about but the wrong #

LOL i set him to offense and only gave him one bomber and a few fighters and he kicked butt, while i did this i either defended agaist enemy advances or tried to push forward, once the secondary front was done i stayed in defnse(butt not losing any cities, let comp have cash and ur done) and when my first dual strike came i used tanks a rockets and infantry droped behind enemy lines in 2 copters and some with the tanks, all this turned to tide and i began to push forward and the rockets saved my butt cas i had moslty only normal tanks and they used a few less md thasn i had normal, so anyway i eventually took their airport and i got a bomber in the air and they where screwd after that.

the first A in advance wars mean advance...go on the offense, play to much def 4 2 long and enemy will take most citties and eventually bust up ur base 4 good with superior numbers, also a tip is knowing what unit to build...ill spend 2 minutes staring at my factory thinking about thwere the battle is going and what unit i need based on my current forces.

I got close but there base has to much protection but i haven't tried using dualstrike yet i will try that

The hardest part is blowing up the flying fortress.After that everything else is easy.

Tip: Do not use the base in the middle...its just a waste of $$$ bcuz the base fortress will bomb it anyway.Also,use plenty of bombers...they can take out oncoming infantry quickly...

(Im on lvl 24 if u need anymore tips...)

err... you mean mission 9... mission 8 is the one with the new piperunner and how they invent the tag...
i used max on second front, and sasha on main, send fighters(all your predeployed ones) and one bomber to the second front, set them to aggresive... pretty much just stall time (don't go any further than the middle of the map) until the you beat the second front (the cpu)and meanwhile, make sure the bomber goes into the southern mountains in the middle of the map, making sure nothing can attack it, (the missiles near the crystal don't move)
then you can just tag when you win in the second front, just use tag power, moving the bomber towards the crystal as far as you can on sasha's turn, and on max's turn SMASH IT!!! victory!! A rank and voi'la!

if that's not the mission, i'll get ya a walkthrough day-today tomorrow, i gotta go to bed now, not enough time

edit: not much time today, i'll get to it next week, and that's a PROMISE
