Super Famicom Wars: First Strike
スーパーファミコンウォーズ
A gameplay hack by Master Knight DH that gives the attacker the first strike, Advance Wars style, making battles more decisive and games faster.
What it changes
In the original Super Famicom Wars both sides of a fight deal damage at the same moment. This hack changes the damage calculation so the attacker hits first and the defender answers with what is left, as in Advance Wars. All else being equal, attacking now pays off, and matches move along much more quickly. The battle animations still play side by side; only the math is different.
Versions
Two variants are offered: the standard one, and one that also removes the defender's hidden luck rolls for even less randomness in combat. Both include Optiroc's English translation.
Playing it
The hack is applied to your own copy of the Japanese game following the instructions on the release page.
