Editing Max

Max is a direct combat specialist enlisted in the [[Orange Star]] army. He is a confrontational [[Commanding Officer]] who plays a prominent role in the campaign. If selected, he debuts in the fourth mission of [[Advance Wars]].

==Role==
Max is a loyal companion to both [[Andy]] and [[Sami]]. In stark contrast to both Nell and Sami, Max is aggressive and can be considered the brawn out of the three. Like his colleagues, he is available for use during the final push against [[Sturm]] in both [[Advance Wars] and [[Advance Wars 2]].

==Personality==

Max is a fearless, masculine heroine. While not being especially bright, he is devoted to his cause and his fellow CO's. He often finds himself in arguments, especially when offended by his advesaries or allies. Like Sami and Andy, he is always prepared as well.

==Relationships==

Max maintains good relations with other CO's in and outside of Orange Star. 

==Skills==

Max's forte lies in non-infantry direct combat units, while his weakness are with indirect combat units. 

===In Advance Wars===

'''Day-to-Day (D2D)''' All non-infantry direct combat units have +50% firepower when attacking. However, indirect-combat units suffer from a -10% firepower and defense penalty, as well as -1 range.
