I remember watching my big brother playing Advance Wars on the GBA when I was 5 or 6 and it looked fun with all the tanks and explosions, bombers taking out Battleships and all so I asked him if I could try for a bit and before I knew it I was addicted and wouldn't give it up. It was the new best thing for me! I wasn't very good at it of course but it was fun to command an army but over time by watching how the computers play and playing off their strategy I became a heeeck of a lot better. I LITERALLY played it for the next 5 years until my dad mentioned FE SD to me (and thats a different story), and to this day I am the God of Advance Wars.... at least in my house. Today, I play a lot of other RPGs (its my most played and favored genre) while Advance Wars and FE took the majority of my child.
