About this converter
Advance Wars prices war the honest way, in flat funds per unit. Infantry costs 1,000, Mechs 3,000, Recons 4,000, APCs 5,000, Artillery 6,000, Tanks 7,000, Anti-Air 8,000 and Battle Copters 9,000. Air and sea climb fast with Missiles and Landers at 12,000, Rockets at 15,000, Medium Tanks at 16,000, Cruisers at 18,000, Fighters at 20,000, Bombers at 22,000 and Battleships at 28,000. That means one Battleship equals 28 Infantry or 4 Tanks, no exchange rate needed. Every figure here is the classic trilogy base cost. CO powers and terrain stars shift damage in battle, never the factory price.
How to use it
Pick two units and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first unit, one the matching count of the second, one the total in funds. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Battleship against Infantry.
Days of Ruin changed costs and added new units, so its Bike, Duster, Gunboat and repriced Infantry stay out. The Neotank, Mega Tank and Carrier are Dual Strike extras noted but not rows, keeping the table to the shared classic roster.
