Challenge Rivals! beaten in 9 days [Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp LTC]

This strat took me more than 50 hours to build. The previous World Record was 15 days, and my PB was 19 days (in challenge campaign, Low Turn Count automatically gives 300 points S-Rank). The Original Game Advance Rivals! was also beaten in 9 days a few months ago.
Usually the HQ area is overprotected, but you can get rid of one Bcop by moving a Tcop on the central area at D6, one AA by moving one Tcop on the mid-north area at D6 & D7, and one tank apparently by building APCs at D7 (moving Tcop on south area might help too).
You have to carefully follow the drawn paths, in particular at D5 our fighter risks to bump into a bomber.
At D5 there's a major trick that I found by mistake after bumping into the bomber: if you quit the map once (either by the menu or closing the software), it prevents AI fighters from entering into "scout mode" where they move messily to get visions of your units. But don't quit the map a 2nd time, this would make fighters entering into "aggressive mode" and attack you after landing near AI HQ.
On D8 you must avoid Eagle's Lightning Strike at all cost, that's why I didn't use Andy's COP to kill the bcop (maybe it's possible if you can change the strat and build one less Tcop).
The strat has two possible failure points that may randomly happen:
at D7 if one APC is hit, you must hide the 10hp APC into the southwest area to prevent Eagle from charging COP.
also it might be that the tank not built near HQ is due to RNG (and not due to building APCs).
To this date we still don't know how RNG works in this game, so maybe if you copy exactly my moves you will get the exact same outcomes, or maybe you'll need to play another map in order to re-seed RNG.
