[[Famicom Wars]], [[Super Famicom Wars]], and Game Boy Wars 1, 2 and 3 all formed the basic style of gameplay (turn based strategy) seen in the Advance Wars Series.

After you move one of your units, you assign it a command (fire, wait, capture, supply, dive, etc) and once you have moved all your units and done everything you can in that turn, you can end and it is the enemy's turn.

Damage is calculated by effectiveness against the defending unit- for example, an infantry doesn't really hurt a tank, and a tank blows the infantry apart. Damage calculated is also proportional to the HP of the unit- for example, a 10HP infantry will do more damage than a 1HP infantry.

[[Commanding Officers]] (CO's) offer certain bonuses to certain types of unit, movement cost reduction, etc. Each CO comes with a CO Power, each of which is unique to the CO, and offers significant bonuses to your troops or decreases in the enemies for one turn only. The CO power meter says when you can use your CO power, and this increases when you attack or are attacked. Use your CO powers wisely!

[[Fog of War]] shrouds the entire map in thick fog, so that units have a limited vision range in this pesky mist. This adds a whole new level of strategy to the game, so think carefully when up against this condition.
