COs in Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp

Commanding Officers (Commanders or COs for short or Syogun in the Japanese versions) are the main characters of Famicom/Advance Wars. They are the leaders of each Force and generally the only characters to speak throughout the game.

During each battle, the player assumes control over a CO's actions. Each CO has their own special attributes and certain COs are more suited for different kinds of battles than others. See Category:Commanding Officers for a full list of COs.

In the original game there were 11 COs. Each CO had a unique power which they could use once their power gauge was full, often with battle changing effects. In campaign, only Andy, Max, and Sami were playable until the last mission where anyone else could join in (except Sonja) if the player completed certain missions with certain COs.

In the fourth game, CO's changed slightly. Each CO has a command zone, which affects any of their units within it. The effect and size of the CO zone varies from CO to CO.

COs in this game can have their colors changed.

Trivia[]

Historically, COs are usually generals, but can be as low as lieutenants in small groups. In the Famicom/Advance Wars games the exact rank is unknown for most COs, but is quite varied for the ones that are known.
