Editing Minicannon

'''Minicannons''' are a smaller and weaker variation of the [[Black Cannon]]. They are also utilised more often.

__TOC__
==In-depth==
Minicannons are completely impassable and give no terrain stars. They cover one square and become [[plains]] tiles after destruction, although there is clearly rubble left over. They have a range of four spaces forwards of whichever direction they are facing, in a fan-shaped area. If a unit is their attack range, the Minicannon damages them for 3HP worth of damage. If more than one unit is in range, it damages the most expensive target. It cannot destroy a unit, and always leaves at least 1 hit point.

===Appearances as a mission objective===

Minicannons are usually the main defence of a [[Fortress]]. In the [[Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising]] mission ''Show Stopper'', [[Sonja]] razes the eight Minicannons of [[Adder]]'s Fortress.

In ''Foul Play'', [[Sensei]] destroys three of Adder's minicannons and forces the [[Black Hole]] army to retreat from the area.

A second Fortress at sea is seen in the appropriately titled ''Sea Fortress'' mission, where [[Eagle]] commits an airstrike on [[Hawke]]'s eight Minicannons.

In [[Advance Wars: Dual Strike]] mission ''Snow Hunters'', the [[Allied Nations]] face Hawke in the aftermath of a blizzard and force him to withdraw by destroying his three Minicannons.

Later, [[Jugger]] and [[Koal]] have another fortress at sea, protected by a [[Black Arc]] flying fortress. After destroying the eight aerial Minicannons on the secondary front, the four Minicannons on the main front become vulnerable.

===Other appearances===

Minicannons are used for defending positions in the ''Black Hole Rising'' missions ''The Hunt's End'', ''Sinking Feeling'', ''Great Sea Battle'', ''Hot Pursuit'' and ''Final Front''. They were also found in the ''Dual Strike'' missions ''Dark Ambition'' and ''For the Future!''.

===Aerial Minicannons===

Some time prior to the [[Omega Land]] war, Black Hole developed a flying variation of the Minicannon as a supplement to the Black Arc. Four of them appear as a secondary objective in the ''Victory or Death!'' mission, and then eight of them in ''Omens and Signs''. Getting the AI to destroy them in each mission makes the main front much easier.
