Notes & Tactics
Don't waste your money on lots of rockets, missiles, artillery or battleships. (Max's artillery range is 1! 1!!) Also, don't be fooled by the game's emphasis on Max's tanks. Direct units include all aircraft, and subs and cruisers as well, so if plenty of airports are lurking around, don't be scared to send in a attack fleet of air units! Also, you shouldn't use Max on tight, small, or enclosed maps, or any with choke points (two areas linked with a very narrow gap), as he needs wide open spaces to unleash the full power of his direct attacks. Max is stronger in the first game than he is in the second, but he's not entirely useless in AW2. The extra movement during his powers enables quick first-striking of tanks and aircraft, asserting easy domination in the air and the open ground. By using a combination of bombers/copters and ground units, you should be able to do major damage to any army.
