Advance Wars by Web (aka. AWBW) is an unofficial site created by Aaron Marriner in 2004 that allows people to play Advance Wars multiplayer online in a web browser. AWBW is primarily based upon Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising with select gameplay elements added in from Advance Wars 1 and Advance Wars: Dual Strike, but also expands upon the vanilla experience by including a wider selection of COs than any previous game in the series, up to 16 players per match, additional content and quality-of-life (and some bugs and glitches here and there) and a broad array of community-focused features such as custom maps, spectator controls, replays and a ranked matchmaking system.
