Next 3 people.

Next 3 people who PM me for their own member forum get one. No questions asked.

I make my official return.

Expect seeing an more active DYY, I'm devoting at least 2 hours to posting here everyday.

Also first order of business I've made oomy Global Mod, because I know he can get the job done. =D

2nd of things.

I've axed sub-boards of sports board, as each individual board makes the board look inactive. Also, i'm personally giving the sports board a few days to gain traffic, if it doesn't... you can expect a axe from me.

Password Recovery forum

I have removed the Password Recovery forum, as it has been spammed by bots anyway and no longer serves its purpose.

- YoyoYoshi

2 big changes

1. I've added the sports forum, with subforums of what I see as the sports which would receive the most discussion. Feel free to discuss the season of your favorite team, post videos/clips of your favorite players, etc.

2. I've added the Member Forum Category. If you want your own, see the topic in Special Events based off of this for the following criteria, and PM me your idea.

Public AWRev Myspace Group

http://groups.myspace.com/awrev

It's an open myspace group, so feel free to join yourself. Populate it up.

Let's keep it going!

Well, I was starting to lose faith in AWRev with the insane decline in posts of late.

Since I started in October, we hit an astounding 243 posts on my first few days. That was the day my power went out and all hell broke loose in Buffalo. Over the next few days, we declined to an average of approximately 55 posts per day. I'd assume this comes from the lack of our previously active members getting overwhelmed with school work and such.

However, a spark of faith hit when we hit over 100 posts today since the first time since October 19th!!

Keep it going, and let this motivate you all to start filling the front page, posting more discussion, etc.

Forum Changes

With Syzygy leaving the head manager position, Alex is now officially the head manager. DeeWaiWai is also an administrator once again.

Also, be sure to stop by the Totally Flaked forum to read Black Cannon Blues, an exciting new comic by Sarumarine.

Lastly, and most importantly, Syzygy's presence at the head manager position will be missed. We wish him the very best.

An Announcement

Dear awRev,

This is Syz. As I'm sure you noticed, I haven't been incredibly active lately. Life has busied up, other things have piled up, and things have just dramatically changed a lot. You don’t want or need to know it all, so I’ll just say that I’m having less and less time for running a successful site. Even stopping by is sometimes becoming a problem.

I’ll cut to the point. I have no time to run this site anymore. I think you guys are great, and I thoroughly enjoyed the year that I spent here, as member, staffer, mod, admin, and manager (and Webmaster...). I’ll continue to stop by in the future when I have time, but I will no longer be leading the site in the absence of Yoyo and Term.

I’m leaving the site in control of Alex/Ryxa/Rhinofeeder. He’s done a great job in the past month, and I’m sure he’ll do a great job. Rhino, you know what to do. I know you’ve wanted this ever since we became staffers.

I’ll miss you guys, and I’ll stop by when I can. I will be staying on the staff, but don’t expect me to be very active.

I’ll leave it at that. C’ya.

I'm back

After my city was leveled by a massive ass storm, I finally got power and cable back last nite after playing SSB for 3 straight days at my grandmas. I only took short breaks to break down to the tainting rap on the radio and pick on my little cousin.

Here's some pics:

First pic: user posted image

That's my backyard.

Second pic: user posted image

That's my front yard.

And here's a whole gallery of pics, courtesy of my brother.

Anyways, I'm going to try to pop this place back up now that I'm back. Let's get to it.

A Few Changes

Hey Advance Wars Revolution members,

Since Alex wants to show what he can do as for Advance Wars Revolution, Alex has been temporarily promoted to Hiring Manager for the following month.

Syzygy is still administrator while DYY will be a moderator for the time being. Both have done excellent jobs as administrators and this should not be taken as a sign that either is incompetent. It's quite to the contrary: DYY was the head manager that kept awRev alive in the cold winter months, and Syzygy has done the same in the spring. Forum activity generally stays stable or increases when they are in control. They have logged hundreds, even thousands of forum actions.

Rather, I have simply challenged Alex to make Advance Wars Revolution more active than we've ever been. He will also be a provisional administrator. If he does an excellent job in both, he will be there to stay. If not, things will return to what they were before the change.

YoyoYoshi
Advance Wars Revolution Webmaster

It's a Mister E...

Congradulations to Mr. E for becoming an Advanced Member! Woo!

He's been here for a long time, contributed lots of stuff, some of which I haven't put up yet. He's got a great attitude, and I know he'll make a great AM has he's always been a great member.

Congrats, Foamy!

FoamyFanMail has just replaced Mooglegunner as Moderator here at awRev! Moogle expressed his unableness to be active, and Foamy has been an active member and staffer here for eons. Moogle will still be staying on the staff, but will no longer have his modding position.

Under one condition...

No editing posts to correct grammar. Or spelling. Or punctation.

Anyway, yay for Foamy, nice to have you on the Moderating Team.

New Skin!

Aparently Term wants you to see this now...

Anyway, I've been working on a new skin, based off the frontpage. Term has added his 'two cents,' and it's turned out rather nice. There's still a few more things to change, but it looks nice. If you find any mistakes, please tell us, we'll fix it ASAP.

I like the rotating adbar, personally. It'll randomly display one of [3] banners, and we can put whatever we want there. Perhaps, prizes... Anything. I really like the idea.

Anyway, the skin is titled Synergy, as I found that it fit quite nicely, designed mainly by me, and based off the basic IPB skin. Enjoy.

~Syz

BTW: The images in the top corner are, in this order, Help > Search > Members > Calendar > Chatroom > Wiki. Yay.

Syzygy is back in charge

Hey Advance Wars Revolution,

Syzygy is once again the head manager of AW Revolution, as he was from April to July of this year. This means all hiring and final decisions will be under his discretion.

I suppose I might step in every now and then, but Syzygy for the most part will be in control once again.

I'm sure Syzygy will do a wonderful job as he has done in the past. I'm finally about to start college and it's going to take up much of my time, and I feel that Syzygy would be more active in this stretch of time all the way up till Christmas break.

Unlike previous major announcements, there will be no major changes relating to admins or mods. Unless you count GaMbLiNpErSiMmOn, who will be making us a brand new forum skin.

I will still be hosting the awRev World Cup, so don't you worry about that. That doesn't take much time.

Thank you,
YoyoYoshi
Advance Wars Revolution Webmaster

New Temp Admin...

I'm just quoting Term because it's the exact same reason again.

- YoyoYoshi

New Site Layout!!!

This was inspired by Facebook. Hehe... Two days of planning. Around five to six hours of pure code. Hope you guys like it.

http://www.awrev.com/index.php?

Special Events/awRevist Contest subforums

The Special events subforum has been moved to the awRev Management category, under Announcements. awRevist Contest 2006 is now a subforum within Special Events. That is all.

- YoyoYoshi

The Results are In!

The official winner of the 2006 awRevist Contest is DYY! Congrats, and thanks you all for contributing. It was a good time, and DYY diserves it.

Second Place: YoyoYoshi
Third Place: Oomouwmouw
Fourth Place: Syzygy

Again, thanks to Yoyo for creating it and everyone else for making it happen.

Wiki Rules

With the new wiki site, I figured I better lay down some rules. (just a few)

All current Advance Wars Revolution rules apply to articles.

Under no circumstances are you to edit anyone else's article without proof of written permission.

That's about it. This is more of a reminder than a rule set.

An Important 5-Year Anniversary

On September 11th, 2001, the world changed. Four American commercial planes were hijacked by terrorists and sent into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylavania. Thousands died and millions of others were directly or indirectly affected.

In this melancholy mood, a little known Game Boy Advance game known as Advance Wars made its way to American shores that day. It was very nearly pulled off the shelves. In Japan, where Advance Wars was going to be released the following day, the game was cancelled apparently for good. Advance Wars would not arrive in Japan until late 2004. Europe also nearly cancelled the game for the same reasons.

It's probably not a good idea to release a war game following such a horrific day. Thankfully, Intelligent Systems decided it was too difficult to pull them back since it was already in shores. And because of it, we've had the Advance Wars series for five years.

It is unfortunate that it had to happen on such a terrible day, but we should be grateful that we have this game for us to enjoy.

- YoyoYoshi

AW Revolution Wiki!

Advance Wars Revolution now has a Wiki here. Please make an account and contribute to it!

We'd like a Wiki that includes all past and current staff as well as some of our active members, as well as awRev history and the like. If you've got any ideas for the Wiki, please don't hesitate to make a page on it.

Editing an entry on the awRev Wiki is the same as Wikipedia, so if you've got any things you want to add but don't know how to, check out Wikipedia.

Thank you and have fun!

New Update, New Goals

Hey everyone,

I've updated the AW:DS survival mode guide with Dragor's guide for Mission 6. Also, I'm here to set new goals for AWR, since we seem to have overkilled two of the three goals we had in place.

So without further adieu, here are our upcoming goals:

Website: 150,000 visits by November 14, 2006

Forum: 50,000 posts by September 27, 2006 and 600 members by November 14, 2006

Happy posting, everyone!

- Yoyo

500 Members / 100000 Clicks

Well guys, we've finally hit the 500 member mark. According to Yoyo's goals (July 13), that puts us just a little behind. We have 119429 current visits to the site, putting us FAR ahead of a goal that was not set until early 07.

So the site is doing wonderfully, but the forum is slightly lagging behind. Either way, great job to the staff and all the members and contributers.

Its A "Report" Button

Dear Forum Goers:

As you know, I have been rather busy lately, CW, Driving, and a variety of things. However, I still maintain a very real interest in the future of awRev. However, it is difficult for the me, or any of the other mods and admins to know everything that happens on the forum.

I thereofre encourage all users to use the "Report" Button far more often, if there is anything that concerns you at all, report the post, and tell us whats wrong, we'll do everything we can.

So remember, the Report button is your friend!

Your Majestic Mod,
MoogleGunner

Darth Vader's Grimm Guide

Darth Vader's recent in-depth guide on Grimm has been added to the front page. It's under Commanding Officers in the Advance Wars Dual Strike section. Click where it says "(in-depth)" next to Grimm. Enjoy, and thanks to Vader.

Mod Mixup

The_Roses_Thorn has resigned from the staff on his one volition. He will no longer be modding at awRev (or at least not for a while).

In his place, Rhinofeeder has been promoted to the position of head forum Moderator. His duty will be to keep you guys in line, because quite frankly, neither DYY or I have the time to do it.

Disiplinary things are now primarily at his disgression. If you have any questions about conduct, please contact him.

Do us proud, Rhino ;P.

Movin' right along...

Movement Charts by Supernova have now been uploaded for all three games. Check it out!

About your ridiculously long userbar sigs.

Please, go here and make one. I believe a few people actually asked me how I made my userbar animated anyways. So... have fun.

Shout Out Forum

The staff here of AWRev cares what you, the members, think. It helps to build a better, more warming and exciting community.

So... We've made a forum just for you guys to tell us what you want out of the AWRev experience! Give us requests, throw some ideas out on the table, make some suggestions, all of that other good stuff.

It is also a good place to tell us about a guide you have made, and to tell us what it is for and the like so we can prepare for its arrival.

Let your voice be heard, and go post. Make sure you read the forum guidelines first, and enjoy.

-RhinoFeeder
AWR Staff

We didn't like that name, so we changed it to Nell's Drawing Board. AWification.

Hawke has a Vault

Hawke's Vault has been created as a place to put old wonderful topics that are too... wonderful to leave behind. Old Snippets, GotMs, and anything else that we deem worthy will go there.

Also, a Frontpage section has been made for Fanfiction, please tell me if I missed any. CustomCOs has been slightly revamped, and will be updated soon >_>.

New Affiliate!

We are now affiliated With AWB, be sure to check them out, make an account, post some. Tournaments and competitions between our 2 sites are soon to come!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is awRev?

awRev, short for Advance Wars Revolution, is an Advance Wars Fansite and Forum founded in late 2005. The site, www.awRev.com, has one of the largest, if not the largest amount of Advance Wars content on the net, in the form of guides, walkthroughs, and tables.

Who are the leaders at this site?

The domain, site, and forum are owned by YoyoYoshi and Term1al. The current Webmaster is Syzygy. DYY is a Forum Admin.

How can I contact them?

All staff can be contacted though the PM system, as well as by Messengers or E-mail. You can also E-mail us at awRevolution@gmail.com.

Who the heck is DYY?

DYY likes to change his name a lot. He is the forum admin who is not Syzygy, YoyoYoshi, or Term1al.

What are the site rules? Are they strictly enforced?

We are not extremly strict with enforcing the guidelines, but breaking one of the Strict Rules will result in a warning.

What is the Frontpage and how do I get there?

The Frontpage is where all the guides and site information is stored.

I would like to contribute something to awRev. How would I do that?

First of all, make sure that the thing that you would like to contribute does not already exist (unless you are updating information). Then, PM Syzygy about it, to ensure that someone else is not currently working on the project. When the work is completed, and you are willing for that project to become property of Advance Wars Revolution, E-mail it to awRevolution@gmail.com.

How do I join an Army?

Armies are currently disabled. They will return shortly.

What's an Advanced Member and how do I become one?

Advanced Members are set apart from thier peers because of outstanding contributions and attitude. They are given increased PM Inbox space, a special tag, a special group, exemption from Flood Control, and the distinction of being exceptional.

How do I become a Staff Member?

Hirings are few and far between, but it never hurts to send in an Application. Also, please do not beg to become a staff member.

What is Game of the Month?

Game of the Month is a monthly reviews on various video games. Anyone can write one, simply E-mail it to awRevolution@gmail.com, and it will be put up at the next available position.

What should I do if I have other questions?

If it is a question that you feel could be awnsered by the general community, post it in Flak's Bedroom. If you have a question that only the staff should know about, PM it to Syzygy, and he will either respond or bring it up with the rest of the staff.

Revoultion Wars, Armies, Medals, and PDAs

The Staff has decided that Revolution Wars is simply... not working. At the current rate, if we could get the inactive people to participate, it would take many months, if not years, to complete a theater. Nothing has been deleted, but the system is going to be rethought to make it faster, more fun, and less complicated.

The Armies section has been disabled for now. It will, however, be used in the future.

Graymalkin's complete Medals guide is formatted and uploaded. It states how to aquire each of the 300 medals, as well as the quote that comes with getting them. It's very complete and useful if you're working toward getting all 300 Medals.

Browsing the internet from wireless sources, such as PDAs and Cell Phones is becoming more and more common. Our duty as a fourm is to supply for those things. So, the PDA Skin has been added. It is designed for minimal Bandwith usage and Small-Resolution screens. It uses only slightly more BW than the low-fi version, but can access all the features, such as posting.

I do, however, suggest that if you are using it, turn off Sigs and Avatars in My Controls > Board Settings. When in the skin, click the link "full" at the bottom left of the page to return to the default skin.

~Syz

Building relations.

Our friends at Graphix Fantasy wanted to hold an affiliate chat where partner sites could discuss how each board or site is doing and see if they can give each other advice.

Personally, I am all for the idea.

So... Bosco and I have set up an irc channel for the affiliates. With an irc channel, the diplomats from each site can idle the channel, and other people of the same timezones could meet at a good time. Other people could come to contribute at any time they wish in the channel.

In doing this, each site will flourish, having more members to spread to their affiliates as well. None of our affiliates are really big competitors either, so this seems to be all positive for us.

Once we spread the word to our partners and get this going active, you can expect our numbers to go up.

-Rhino

Big Morning for Me!

OK, Lots of updates, mostly from new members! Keep up the good work!

The AWDS NC Guide has been slightly corrected (For the Future now works), reformatted (lines, links, and 1337ness), and xanga985's Pincer Strike Guide has been added!

Yukkie-San's AWDS Unit Info has finally been added. Opus has added some tips to the Combat section. xanga985 has contributed more to the Medals section, and it now contains 96 different medals. That's far from all, however, so if anyone has all of them, please type them up and send them over to me!

~Syz

Army System Finally Works Now.

Updated to another version. Admins, have fun with the settings. Members, sign up and fight!

Debates Removed

The Debates forum was a project that failed. Topics have been moved to thier respective forums. (GD, AWDS, Gaming)

As of now, both comic boards have been given full forums. That is under deliberation and is subject to change, but is of good possiblity to stay that way for a while.

~Syz

Update!

New Site Content!

Mooglegunner’s Advance Wars 1 Introduction added
Lightning Strike’s AWDS review added
Lightning Strike’s addition to Design Map Advice added
Linkus page updated with a Userbar
Syzygy’s CO guide updated with Hyperlinks and improved order

Be sure to check them out!

~Syz

You can now mod your army forums again.

MoogleGunner is now the only person that has access to the forum pw's and junk.

Something is screwed up.

OK, people are talking about strange things happening to them... and I have no idea why. I'm looking for stuff, but until then, I apologize for the inconvience.

*calls Firefox's name...*

Revolution Wars!

Huh, can't believe I forgot to make this topic X_X awRev now has a new system, Revolution Wars. 3 new forums are now viewable.

At this time, only 1 Theater is allowed at a time. After we finish this testing round, we will be able to have multiple theaters going on at the same time, so we can have 14, 28, even 42 people playing at once!

It's a great system, give it a spin.

Signups are now full. (hehe)

~Syz

Another New Affiliate!

We are now affiliated with Graphix Fantasy. It's a great place. When Kaden e-mailed me, I couldn't possibly turn him down. I encourage you all to check it out!

~Syz

New Affiliate!

awRev has now affiliated with Fire Emblem Wars, an FE Fansite with a very large RPG system. As is the custom when such things happen, I suggest you all visit and possibly sign up, and I’m sure members from there will do the same.

Give it a Spin.

*sigh*
http://s4.invisionfree.com/fire_emblem_wars

Guide Central and AWSU

The forum "Gaming Guide Central" has been created at the suggestion of Ace Hunter.

awRev has added another site to it's affiliate list. Advance Wars Sprite Universe. So yeah, I suggest everyone at least visits. Every little bit of affiliation counts!

For those who don't know, we basically just put our links on the other's site. And you guys can visit, and they can visit us! Yay!

awRev Webmaster ~ Syzygy

Snippets are made!

With the release of my new Snippet, Snippets are officially released.

Snippets are among my most favorite ideas that we have begun to implement, and you can expect that there will be many other, more impressive, things coming forward as we move back towards our goal to be the penultimate AW site on the net!

Of course to accomplish that we need you, the members, the focus of this site, to help out too. Sign up for a Snippet, or agree to make a game of the Month article, and then you can get your shiny Advance Member stuff.

Further works today are the moving of the AW Forums to above the Community junk, to symbolize our new devotion to AW!

Finally, We have a new Base-Based Forum image. All your base are belong to us, baby.

Snippets, Game of the Month, and Command Log Guidelines

Snippets

Snippets are medium length guides written and posted every Saturday about different topics in Advance Wars. They are interesting and informative, and are designed to spark discussion about topics and to be used for reference.

Anything in Advance Wars is fair game. You could discuss the power of a CO, argue the effectiveness of a Tag combination, talk about the uses of a unit, outline the power in a Force Rank, or analyze a map.

Anyone can contribute a Snippets article. If it is approved, you will be registered for the next available week, then PM your full article to either The_Roses_Thorn or Syzygy.

Game of the Month

Game of the Months are monthly reviews on video games. They can be done on old games, recently released games, or any other game you feel inclined to write about.

Anyone can contribute a Game of the Month article by posting the idea first, then sending the completed article in once approved.

Command Log

The Command Log gets you inside of the head of a Commanding Officer during a battle. Two people play a battle on AWBW, track their thoughts day by day, and the finished battle is turned into an article with pictures.

At the moment, Command Logs are only open to the staff. Stay tuned! The_Roses_Thorn and I are currently working on a Command Log of our own.

~Syzygy

Advanced Members

A new attribute has been added. The group "Advanced Member" will be given out to those who the staff deems worthy.

How to become an Advanced Member: contribute. Write a guide and submit it to the site. Make a useful topic. Also, do anything else that the staff concider good for the community.

What you get when you Advance: a cool green name, exemption from flood control, a larger PM inbox, and the ability to edit your own topic titles.

Also, Advance Wars pips have been added.

Happy Easter!

The Staff wishes you a happy Easter holiday. Good luck finding your eggs and catching that Bunny.

Also, so this has some usage to the actual site, the AWDS Unit guide now includes some water troops, and is awaiting further input by Yukkie-San. A Design Map Advice Guide has been sent in by Lightning Strike. I’ve coded it up, but haven’t got around to putting it up yet. Look forward to it!

Thank you!

New Co-Webmaster/Administrator

After talking it over with Syzygy, I have decided to make Syzygy a co-webmaster and administrator of Advance Wars Revolution. He has shown great dedication to awRev and I believe he is a great selection for the position.

I will still be around awRev and still do updates every now and then, even if I'm busy. Nethertheless, I've had less time to run the site lately.

I'm sure Syzygy will do a wonderful job and will keep awRev a great community to be a part of.

Thank you,
YoyoYoshi

A Few Updates

1. As I'm sure you noticed, awRev Default Skin has a stylin’ logo. Feel free to comment on it.

2. Forums were re-ordered. Forum games is now “LASH’S TOY BOX” and Flak’s Crib is now “ADDER’S CRIB,” Both subforums of Flak’s Bedroom. What will Hawke get!?

3. The rules were reworked. Feel free to comment.

~Syz

AWRev is going through some changes

The staff got together recently, and we knew things had to change, so we decided upon a few things.

So, things will be undergoing some changes.

1. New staff will be hired. Congratulations to all of those who were sent the PM.

2. We’ve decided that Advance Wars is a thing of the past. The focus of this site will, as of later this week, be completely and solely about RTS’, such as Age of Empires and StarCraft.

3. RTSRev (name pending) is going to be a pay-for-use site, with a small fee.

4. Control of the site is to be given entirely to nol888.

5. Flak’s bedroom is officially being renamed “Nell’s bedroom” for a time.

6. Spam is officially disallowed. Anyone found doing so will be instantly warned.

7. The army system is coming back.

8. I, Syzygy, am officially changing my post color to orange.

9. The new skin is up “RTSRev Default.” Check it out!

10. The staff wishes you a happy April Fools Day.

Combat Guide!

oomouwmouw's AWDS Combat Guide is now up! Check it out!

Rather concise, but good. Hope I didn't miss any grammer errors (XD).

That's all for now.

~Syz

AWRev Poll! March-April 2006.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All Members of the Royal Order of Advance Wars Revolution.

'Kay folks, We at the Staff want to know something quite important, if you could make any "fan-" item for Advance Wars, what would it be?

This kinda stuff can tell us alot, so seriously, post it here.

MoogleGunner

Listed and More!

AWRev Finally has a custom skin! And a very nice one at that. As I’m sure you all saw, “listed” is a great, professional-looking, light blue skin.

What is custom: “New Post” macros were changed from teal to red. Forum view was fixed. Custom logo added. Text size was enlarged.

What more needs to be done: You can't make post colors. Untill then, you are stuck with typing [color=*red]. I will try to figure it out. Perhaps more.

Also, the Army System forum has been removed until the army system returns. Flak’s Crib forum was added. New Members, introduce yourselves there!

All in a day’s work!

AWDS Update

Yukkie-San's information about AWDS secrets and GAFFAguy's information about AWDS medals are both up now.

Lightning_Strike's AWDS review will be up very soon!

YoyoYoshi

Upgraded Forums to v2.1.5

So yeah, that's it so far. I'm planning to place a few more mods on. Well, actually, I took down all the previous mods, including the Army System. I'll implement that once the author of the mod gets done with the final version for 2.1.

And if you guys want more mods, I'm free to suggestions.

Syzygy's CO Guide

The entirety of Syzygy's AW:DS CO Guide is now up.

YoyoYoshi

All in a Day's Work

Lotsa things to report.

First of all, Firefox, due to extenuating circumstances, will no longer be moderating here, for now. The_Roses_Thorn has, out of necessity, given up his spot as Administrator. He is now a mod and will try to do a great job just as he always has.

Syzygy and Rhinofeeder have been made Forum Moderators of General Discussion, Gaming Discussion, and the Special Events board.

The Staff would like to thank you all for making yesterday an awesome day for posting! Keep it up.

mmm has sent in his AW:DS combat guide! It will be put up soon enough.

On a side note, Admin Term1al has removed the personal information from the forum user sidebar. It is still viewable in the user profiles. This will clean up the topics a lot. We hope you like it.

Finally, AWRev is holding a large-scale AWBW tournament. It’s bound to be fun so find a partner and sign up in Special Events.

AoE:DS Forum

Upon discussion amongst the staff, we've decided that AoE:DS is a very similar game to AW. We are also aware that a few of our members play AoE:DS, so we've decided to make a forum for it.

Let me know what you guys think.

EDIT: Actually, we just decided to make a full category for it.

Just to clear up some misconceptions...

Some of you may have seen DYY's topic on pulling Advance Wars Revolution out of the Advance Wars series altogether. I'd like to clarify on that by first saying that's not quite accurate.

Are we considering expanding to include other games? Yes, we sure are. But as far as you go with this idea, it runs into three key problems:

1. Advance Wars Revolution has always been an Advance Wars site!

2. We cannot cover every single game like IGN.

3. Even if we do what IGN does, we cannot cover games as extensively as we would as a fansite.

So what do I see as a solution? Expand coverage on Advance Wars over the next several months, then possibly adding a few similar games if conditions permit.

Advance Wars will have to come first, though.

I'd like to close off by talking about three areas I'd like everyone to think about working on in the weeks ahead. These areas are mode/CO strategy guides, competition, and site advertising.

AW1 Campaign Update

I've done another update, formatting the Advance Wars campaign sections so that now the guides look like the rest of the site format-wise. They also have the links that Syzygy suggested in the previous topic.

Also, I've updated the AW:DS secrets section again as well.

AW:DS CO Guide!

Nearly half of Syzygy's Commanding Officers guide is now up under the Advance Wars: Dual Strike section.

Also, the Advance Wars 2 Normal Campaign guide is back up, though without the campaign maps yet.

A site update!

Yep, that's right. I've updated the site!

In a long overdue update, I've finally put up Sarumarine's map images for the Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2 campaigns! So if you stop by the Normal Campaign and Advance Campaign sections of Advance Wars, and the Hard Campaign section of Advance Wars 2 on Advance Wars Revolution, you'll find every map unfogged, with lab maps labelled for your enjoyment!

Apologies to Sarumarine for taking four months to put up all those images.

I've also updated the Battle Maps section for Advance Wars: Dual Strike.

Also, you may have noticed that the Advance Wars 2 Normal Campaign section's been down for a while. I don't know why, but I'll see what I can do about it.

Merry Christmas AWRev, its our first Christmas, so lets break out the egg nog, spike the egg nog, and hope the police don't come, and have some fun.

There's not much else to say, so just, Merry Christmas, and Hannukah, and Winter Solstice, and Whatever else you want to celebrate.

Fixed/10

Everything's fixed now i think, if you find any bugs or glitches, I can't fix them cuz I need ACP access for those probally....anyways, everything SHOULD work now.

Army System is down indefenitally.

Age 2 has now started!

As the topic title says, Age 2 has now started. Good luck and have fun everyone.

Minor glitches means we will reset it again later.

Upgrading the Army System...

Soon we will be upgrading to the newest version of the army system.

Change-up in Community Leadership

Hey everyone,

Since I haven't been on as much lately, I've decided to hand over control of how the site and forum is run to Sith Lord DYY. He changes his name way too much...but hey, he's great with this stuff and if you want to be hired or send content to AW Revolution, you can send it to him!

I've demoted GaMbLiNpErSiMmOn from an admin position, since he was supposed to make new skins, but hasn't. In his place is The Roses Thorn, who I found a great mod, and will definitely do a great job with the admining.

MoogleGunner will now take the 2nd moderator position. Don't think I need to say much about his qualifications.
