awRev history page rewritten

Posted by YoyoYoshi on June 3 2026, 4:40 PM

I've written the awRev About page. What started as a site history ended up becoming one of the most comprehensive accounts of awRev and the Advance Wars fansite era I've ever put together.

Read the full history here.

Battalion Wars walkthrough restored on awRev

Posted by YoyoYoshi on May 23 2026, 4:20 PM

I restored the old awRev Battalion Wars walkthrough by Da_Nut and reposted it on the site.

I updated the guide with internal mission links, cleaner formatting, and improved navigation while preserving Da_Nut's original walkthrough content and structure.

It's also a fun reminder that awRev was already branching slightly beyond Advance Wars back in the mid-2000s, with Battalion Wars fitting naturally alongside the broader Nintendo Wars strategy ecosystem.

I also restored Syzygy's massive 2006 AWDS Hawke analysis guide, cleaning it up and reformatting it for modern readability.

Restoring continuity, one guide at a time.

Guide and fanfiction submissions are now live

Posted by YoyoYoshi on May 10 2026, 9:45 PM

I've added new community features to awRev. Registered users can now submit guides and fanfiction directly through the site for review.

I also expanded the Guides section with five recovered guides from the old awRev and AWB era, including several classic walkthroughs and strategy guides that are now publicly available again.

I still have a lot more planned, but my goal is to make awRev an active place for Advance Wars maps, guides, fanfiction, discussion, and community projects again over time.

Design Maps community features + Discord are now live

Posted by YoyoYoshi on May 9 2026, 4:45 PM

I've brought awRev back online. The Design Maps section currently contains 1,350 maps, including original awRev maps and AWN maps.

I've also launched community features. You can browse maps, leave comments and recommendations, upload your own maps directly through the site, and reconnect with other Advance Wars players, creators, and longtime community members. I've also opened an official Discord server.

If you were part of the 2000s map community era, welcome back. If you're new, welcome.

awRev is back (April 2026 update)

Posted by YoyoYoshi on April 29 2026, 6:20 AM

I rebuilt Advance Wars Revolution and brought original walkthroughs and Design Maps from both the awRev and AWN archives back online, alongside new Re-Boot Camp walkthroughs and full YouTube playthroughs covering every campaign and War Room mission.

I'm already working on an Advance Wars: Dual Strike walkthrough and full video playlist, with more content and features on the way. My goal was to preserve what contributors, map makers, guide writers, staff members, and community members built here while turning awRev into something active again.

A lot of us spent years on awRev, forums, map sites, and IRC/Discord communities talking strategy, sharing maps, arguing tier lists, posting screenshots, and playing Advance Wars far more seriously than we probably should have. Rebuilding awRev felt like a good way to reconnect some of that community history while also giving the series an active home again.

If you were here before, this is the site you remember. If not, this is a good place to start.
