The Advance Wars Roleplay is a [[Play-By-Post Games|forum-based roleplay game]] based on the [[Nintendo Wars]] series but set in an [[Alternate Universe]].

In this universe, the various continents of Wars World divided and each country operates anomously. Each CO has powers which they use to gain an advantage in battle. There is a wide array of characters with various abilities, which often reflect the personalities of the character.

Line 47:

** [[Zeppelins From Another World]]: Orange Star finally have airships!

** [[Elseworld]]: Former [[Game Master|RP Leader]] PanicAttack is planning a fanfic where much of the cast are placed in a world where their powers resemble more conventional [[Stock Super Powers]]. It's essentially the AWRP [[X Meets Y|crossed with]] [[X Men]].

* [[Anti Air]] - As well as the Anti-Air vehicles, the surface-to-air Missiles, the anti-sub/air Cruiser, some factions have additional counter-air weaponary including:

* [[Anti-Air]] - As well as the Anti-Air vehicles, the surface-to-air Missiles, the anti-sub/air Cruiser, some factions have additional counter-air weaponary including:

** The Orange Star/Yellow Comet Frigate, a ship with a surface-to-air missile launcher

** The Green Earth Hoverflak, a hovercraft armed with an anti-air vulcan, similar to the one on the Anti-Air tank.

** The Yellow Comet [[Shout Out|Masako]] [[Saints Row|Troopers]], armed with [[More Dakka|miniguns]], which make them one of the most cost-effective ways of dealing with enemy helicopters. They also fair well against Interceptors.

* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]] - The Russians really did build a [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba~~ Tsar Bomba], similar to the AWRP's [[MacGuffin|Tsarina Bomba]]

* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]] - The Russians really did build a [[wikipedia:Tsar Bomba|Tsar Bomba]], similar to the AWRP's [[MacGuffin|Tsarina Bomba]]

* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Maria, Don, Zephyr (but he got better until he didn't again), Lorin, Omega, Petr, Haynes, D, loads of SMART COs

* [[Armor-Piercing Attack]] - Yellow Comet's Bombers, Fuzei and indirect-combat units have this to a limited degree, as Yellow Comet's "Ballistic Precision" technology allows their attacks to ignore enemy [[Geo Effects|terrain defense]].

Line 73:

** Green Earth has the Peccatore Battleship ([[Fan Nickname|sometimes]] called the [[Freud Was Right|"Pecca"]]), a stronger version of the Battleship which can also target air units.

** Yellow Comet has the Dreadnaught (or [[Fan Nickname|"Dreadie"]] or variations thereof), which packs even more power than the Peccatore, but can't fire on air units. It can absolutely ruin enemy Submarines, however.

** SMART also got in on this, with their Frigate, a design that was stolen by Orange Star and passed onto Yellow Comet. See [[Anti Air]].

** SMART also got in on this, with their Frigate, a design that was stolen by Orange Star and passed onto Yellow Comet. See [[Anti-Air]].

** AB04 is certainly this for whoever owns it. It's a giant submarine used for developing bioweapons which is overseen by some unknown entity with a robot voice.

* [[Disc One Final Boss]] - Reagan. Everyone was led to believe she was behind the SMART invasion, when she was actually a subordinate to an even higher ranking man: Vogel. She was something of the actual final boss of SMART, tagging with Vogel in their final stand.

Line 97:

** Ken serves as the overall leader of Yellow Comet, similar to Kanbei.

** Hanako serves as a foil to Ken, like Sonja to Kanbei. Like Sonja and Lash she is also a prodigy and has terrain-related abilities. Ken and Hanako aren't blood related, however.

** Caligari's abilities are like Andy's, but slightly better. His CO Power is practically identical to O'Brian/Brenner's. He's also an Expy of [[Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~|The Fifth Doctor]].

** Sae can empty enemy CO Power meters and doesn't get any firepower or defensive boosts under normal circumstances, similar to Sasha.

** Ironside is wheelchair bound and heavily crippled, much like Von Bolt.

Line 130:

*** [[The Brute]] - Flak

*** [[The Dark Chick]] - Adder

* [[Game Breaking Injury]] - The virus that prevents the usage of CO Powers could be seen as a form of this, especially since the Black Hole COs are unaffected and some have borderline [[Game Breaker]] abilities.

* [[Game-Breaking Injury]] - The virus that prevents the usage of CO Powers could be seen as a form of this, especially since the Black Hole COs are unaffected and some have borderline [[Game Breaker]] abilities.

* [[Gatling Good]] - The Yellow Comet Masako Troopers use miniguns, as do the Vulcaneers from the alternate Yellow Comet.

* [[Geo Effects]] - Like in AW proper, terrain affects the movement and defensive strength of ground, sea and also hovercraft units. Different COs and technologies affect them further:

Line 154:

* [[Kill It With Fire]]

** [[Playing With Fire]] - Plamya's powers

** [[Fire Breathing Weapon]] - Green Earth's Flamethrower Infantry.

** [[Fire-Breathing Weapon]] - Green Earth's Flamethrower Infantry.

* [[Large and In Charge]] - Dart and Thor

* [[MacGuffin]] - Nuclear weapons, or more broadly weapons of mass destruction - have never been used as weapons, but frequently as plot.

Line 204:

** Sloth: Chase

** Wrath: Viola

* [[Stage Names]] - Again, a lot. Amongst the current cast we have:

** Dan "Dart" Gallagher

Line 215:

** Kiku Kurosawa used a fake given name ''and'' a fake surname. Her real name was Natsuki Saito.

** One could argue for Suzanna Mia "Suzi" Harrison and Victor "Vic" O'Brian (no relation to the main series character), who use shortened forms of their given names.

* [[Tank Goodness]] - As well as the standard, Medium and War Tanks from [[Nintendo Wars|Days of Ruin]], the AWRP features the [[Dual Mode Unit|part-artillery]] [[Shout Out|Siege]] [[Starcraft|Tank]], the subterranean [[This Is a Drill|Yormungand Tank]] and the [[Hover Tank|Hovertank]]. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] as the Yormungand and Hovertank aren't much more powerful than a Medium Tank.

[[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] as the Yormungand and Hovertank aren't much more powerful than a Medium Tank.

* [[Tech Tree]] - In the early stages of the game, each faction was limited to a handful of units from the games and had to research the remaining ones. Even now, new units, defensive installations and effects can be researched, although this is more freeform.

* [[Theme Naming]] - PanicAttack's characters (Viola and Rosabella Abandonato, Hanako Mori, Kiku Kurosawa and Suzanna Mia Harrison) all have flower-themed names. Other characters also have plant-related names including Ken Kobayashi, Emi Hayashi and Sae Sakurazaki. [[Hypocritical Humor|Hanako]] was the one who [[Lampshade Hanging|noticed the]] [[Flower Motifs|flower theme]] first.
