Battalion Wars is a great game for the young and old. It uses the controls to there fullest and helps to teach strategy. The setting is very much the same as other combat games, one force against another. The twist on this one is that the planes, tanks and other equipment are cartoonishly exaggerated and the characters are children in combat gear. After the introduction play you will be given orders to follow a path to a certain location. You may encounter a spy and then other boys from your company. As the game progresses you will be given control of the boys under your command and control of the tanks and aircraft made available to you. This is were the fun begins.
