Famicom Wars: First Strike
ファミコンウォーズ
A gameplay hack that makes the attacker deal damage first, giving the original Famicom Wars the faster, more aggressive pace of Advance Wars.
What's new
In the original game both sides' damage in a battle is worked out at the same time, which blunts the advantage of striking first. First Strike changes the order of the damage calculation so the attacking unit hits before the defender answers back, much like Advance Wars and the later games in the series. Battle animations still play side by side as before; only the math behind them has changed.
Playing it
The hack is designed to go with the Stardust Crusaders English translation of Famicom Wars and is most compatible with it. Apply it to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the hack's page.
