I'm about 60% certain I didn't use any artillery (on attempts where I actually succeeded) but I'm hoping for something a little more convincing.

Tbh, depending on CO that may not even be gimping yourself, especially if you're Max. Would be a good Sami run tho, since she relies on artillery to take out what mass infantry cant.

Regardless, the balancing on advance wars' hard mode on the original is so absolutely perfect that no challenge run can truly compare. I managed an S rank on almost every mission save the final Sturm battle. Tbh, the last fight was the only one where RNG really mattered, and even then I found ways to manipulate the AI. The rest can pretty much always be muddled through.

Have you done the War Room missions? Reward is well worth it. General Nell is my favorite CO, her luck bonus is borderline OP abd Lucky Star can turn an entire battle around. Interestingly enough, I always presumed her luck bonus boosted firepower, but it actually improves damage directly.
