If you have completed field training in the first Advance Wars you can safely skip Nell's explanations with start. If you're a newcomer or need to fresh up on your basic skills, you should of course read it.

You have three infantries and an APC versus two dumb infantries. Not one of the most challenging levels in the game... Move your infantries foreward, east if they're too far away to attack Flak's infantries, make sure they don't attack you the next round. They'll come at you and it'll be easy to finish them of, one at a time only loosing a few HP.

Again skip Nell's advice unless you feel like you need it (press start).

Move foreward north-west the first day, the second day stay behind the first allied city, keep your artillery close so that it can attack the first green space. Capture the city to the south with your infantry. Then attack the tanks and then continue with infantry and at last go for the APC.

How can you take out two md. tanks with just one? Use your battle copters.

Take the copter out with the two copters you have. Fly the infantry north-east and drop with the t-copter. Move the rest of your troop along the bridges, have your artillery go first as long as it is out of danger.

Continue using you two copters, this time take a blow at each of the md. tanks, continue attacking each of the tanks the next rounds. Keep moving the rest of your army north, have the infantry capture the city. Finish of the rest of Flak's army the next day, don't worry if you can't get much use of your artillery, it's not good with Max after all.
