{{Quote|I can fix anything!|Andy|http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Advance_Wars#Andy}}
'''Andy''' is a [[Commanding Officer]] of the [[Orange Star]] army. He is widely regarded as the franchise's mascot, and takes the role of protagonist in both the original ''[[Advance Wars]]'' and ''[[Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising]]''. 

==Role==
===In ''Advance Wars''===
Andy, along with [[Sami]] and [[Max]], travel throughout [[Cosmo Land]] in an attempt to learn why other nations have become hostile to [[Orange Star]]. When it is discovered that the attacks were launched by a [[Clone Andy|clone of Andy]], the other countries temporarily join forces against the common enemy. Andy leads the Orange Star troops into the final battle against [[Sturm]], and is eventually able to drive [[Black Hole]] out of Cosmo Land.

===In ''Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising''===
Still a young and somewhat naive mechanic, Andy continues to work with fellow commanders [[Sami]] and [[Max]] to liberate [[Orange Star]]. Like Sami, Andy also offers aid to foreign nations later in the campaign, and may be selected by the player to command an army during the invasion of [[Black Hole]].

===In ''Advance Wars: Dual Strike''===
Andy makes no formal appearance in ''[[Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]''. However, [[Andy Clone (AW3)|he is cloned again]] and sent to fight against the [[Allied Nations]] during the Omega Land war. [[Means to an End|Upon completion of the final mission]], he is available for use in the [[Hard Campaign]].

==Personality==
Andy is a bold and somewhat impulsive commander, always prepared for battle. Over the course of the {{series|Advance Wars|series}}, he is often portrayed to be dim, due to his inquiries on basic subject matters. However, his questions help to familiarize the player with both the game's controls, and the ways of war.

==Relationships==
Andy has no deep relationships with other characters. He views [[Nell]] as a teacher, and is quick to help [[Sami]] and [[Max]] when their troops are in trouble. He holds a rivalry with [[Eagle]], and maintains good relations with the other [[Orange Star]] officers.

==Skills==
Andy's skills as a mechanic grant him proficiency with all land, sea, and air units. His CO Powers primarily repair his units, restoring their Hit Points.
