Gameplay

---

Battalion Wars contains the elements of both a third-person shooter and a real-time strategy game. In the midst of battle, the player will have control over a variety of units, including infantry, tanks, and air units. The player also controls an individual unit himself. Separate units, unit groups, or the entire battalion can be given commands. Units can be commanded to follow the player, hold their positions, man gun turrets, or attack certain targets. At any time, the player may "control-transfer" from one unit to another and take control of that new unit.

Unit types

Infantry

• Rifle grunts: These basic soldiers make up the bulk of the armies. They posses assault rifles and are only suitable for eliminating opposing infantry.
• Bazooka veterans: Bazooka-wielding infantry. Their missiles can take down tanks and other vehicles easily, although the slow speed of the rockets make them easy to dodge for other infantry. Rockets can be charged before they're fired to increase the speed and damage of them.
• Missile veterans: Infantry that carry guided missiles. Their missiles home in on air units, but are barely accurate when aimed against land units.
• Flame veterans: Infantry with flamethrowers; they're most effective against other infantry.
• Assault veterans: Assault veterans are essentially more powerful Rifle grunts; they carry heavy machine guns capable of massive damage against infantry. Accuracy is lost with the gun over long distances however. The HMG is also capable of dealing damage to lightly armored vehicles and air units.
• Mortar veterans: Mortar veterans, as the name implies, fire mortars. Mortars travel in an arc pattern through the air, allowing them to be shot over walls or behind enemy cover.
