Battalion Wars (Video Game)	comment	A series of Spin-Off games within the Nintendo Wars series, with the first entry releasing on the Nintendo GameCube in 2005. Unlike the main series, Battalion Wars eschews Turn-Based Strategy for a mixture of Real-Time Strategy and Third-Person Shooter, reminiscent of games such as Hogs of War. In addition to commanding your forces in real time, all gameplay is from the point of view of any individual unit on the field, which that the player can switch between and control at any time.The series involves a world with surprisingly trigger-happy nations. The two largest, the Western Frontier and the Tundran Territories, are in a state of cease-fire after a long war, and things seem to be heating up between them yet again. As the bullets and bombs fly, all countries involved get embroiled with the Iron Legion, the former army of Xylvania that nearly conquered the world centuries ago, is more than willing to give it another shot, and isn't about to let a little thing like being dead stop them.A sequel, Battalion Wars II, was released on the Wii in 2008. In BWii, the Anglo Isles, who managed to stay out of the previous conflict, invade the Solar Empire on rumors that they were building a superweapon to use against them (Given that they built the superweapon that stopped the Iron Legion, this wasn't too hard to believe). Eventually, the Frontier and Tundra get involved in the action as well.

Battalion Wars (Video Game) / int_105f4bd9	type	Villain: Exit, Stage Left
Battalion Wars (Video Game) / int_105f4bd9	comment	Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Justified. The commanders use radio to communicate and can therefore run away long before they're actually in any danger. However, at the end of the first game, the COs get into the Vladstag themselves and they had already taken down Xylvania, but Vlad manages to invoke this trope anyway. In the sequel, Vlad tries to invoke this trope again after getting the staff and calling the Kill Sat with it, but Pierce demolishes his means of escape, leaving Vlad and Ubel stuck having to escape in a manner that gets them stuck in a cave-in caused by the Kill Sat.

Best exemplified at the conclusion of Chapter 3 of the second game, when Vlad poisons A-Qira and launches his invasion of Tundra. A-Qira first accuses him of the poison, then of more general treachery as the scope of Vlad's plan is revealed. The Kaiser cheerfully affirms both accusations as A-Qira writhes in his agonizing death throes.

And at the very end of the second game, where he's stuck in a cave caused by his use of the Staff of Qa-Len. Using light from a match to see, he proudly proclaims that "the torch of destiny still burns brightly for Xylvania." The match goes out immediately after he says that.

Neither are purely honorable, though the Frontier is clearly better, and part of the story is that Tundra needs to reform. Indeed, the Tundran leadership are clear Anti Villains at their absolute worst, while the Frontier are more or less lead by the warmongering General Herman. Get emphasized when, early in the first game, Vlad describes them as "Frontier warmongers and Tundran despots", and the player quickly realizes he's absolutely correct in both assessments.

In fact, one of his primary reasons for expansion is to gain more resources. Although, oddly enough, Old Xylvania looks just about the same in Battalion Wars 2, except everything's on fire instead of poisonous and green. If you think about it, the appearance of Old Xylvania could be as it is to mirror the effects of Kaiser Vlad's actions. That is, to draw a parallel between Lord Ferrok and Vlad. On the other hand, maybe Xylvania is just a perennial hellhole. Look at their people. That didn't happen to them in a generation.

Anti-Air Vets were this in the first game, but went from Game-Breaker to seriously underpowered.note This was because Anti Air Veteran Missiles had to do a high amount of damage to destroy Gunships, Bombers, and Fighters, seeing as the latter bunch had EXCEEDINGLY high HP. The HP and DPS (Mostly to the Gunship) of Air units and damage done by AA vets was lowered in the second game by tenfold, allowing rapid fire weapons like MG towers to take them down, and Assault Vets to take down Air units faster. Anti Air vehicles didn't have to worry about this because the missiles were less accurate to ground units, and the speed was dropped for a larger quantity of AA missles fired. Changed in the second game.

Battalion Wars (Video Game) / int_53e36b34	comment	Shades of Conflict: Several overlapping types. Gray-and-Grey Morality: The Frontier and Tundra. Neither are purely honorable, though the Frontier is clearly better, and part of the story is that Tundra needs to reform. Indeed, the Tundran leadership are clear Anti Villains at their absolute worst, while the Frontier are more or less lead by the warmongering General Herman. Get emphasized when, early in the first game, Vlad describes them as "Frontier warmongers and Tundran despots", and the player quickly realizes he's absolutely correct in both assessments. Black-and-White Morality: By contrast, the Solar Empire and Xylvania. The Solar Empire is basically an idyllic Utopia, with its gorgeous tropical terrain, clean energy, futuristic technology, free consumerist culture, superior tactics, and diplomatic leadership. Heck, their leadership can literally see into the future! Xylvania, by contrast, is hellish, polluted, war-mongering, treacherous, and their leader is obsessed with their past. Blue-and-Orange Morality: Colonel Windsor and Admiral A-Qira. Sure, they were both originally manipulated, but after awhile, it's just honor and tradition keeping them going. After A-Qira launches a campaign simply to deface Windsor's statue, and Windsor launches an operation just to clean up said statue, even Marshal Nova points out that the whole thing makes no sense.

However, in Battalion Wars 2, while there is another case that involves a playable unit in the last mission, it does not help the player whatsoever: the Battlestation attacks the guns that fire the weak green lasers coming from the Mining Spider before attacking the blasted digging machine itself, but you don't get to aim at these guns whatsoever. This makes no sense because the Fighters you get are harder, albeit generally more rewarding, to control than the no-brainer Battlestation, but at least the Heavy Tanks fire at the guns too if commanded to attack the Spider. Veteran infantry can use their weapons at full power immediately, rather than having to wait for the charging period like the player does. The tradeoff of course is that a player-controlled Veteran has a health and damage bonus, while also not falling victim to Artificial Stupidity.

In 2 all units are statistically identical, with the only functional difference between the factions being that the mounting points for secondary weapons can vary. This was notably not the case in the first game where each faction actually does have some statistical differences; this is most perceptible with the Iron Legion, who are noticeably more durable than everyone else.

Your task is to provide cover for a ground force as they do the mission's objectives instead of you. Most of "Operation POW" involves racing a Light Recon to its destination under a time limit, with only a token combat section at the start and end of the mission. The second game's "Showdown at Big Honshu" is similar, involving driving a Recon around to plant bombs under a time limit. "Bonus Mission 3" has an enemy bomber constantly attacking you... and unlike virtually every other mission in the series, you don't have any method of countering it. The mission revolves around surviving its bombing runs long enough until you finally summon a squadron of Fighters to take it down.

And the Germans never went democratic and had a horde of zombies up their sleeves. And everyone had 21st century (or better) tech. And Superheavy tanks actually were a good idea. While not a direct allusion, the "Lightning Wars" between the Solar Empire and the Iron Legion are a possible reference to the German Blitzkrieg. The conflict between the Western Frontier and the Tundran Territories alludes to the Cold War, with Tsar Giorgi initiating the first war over rumors of a Frontier superweapon. "Fort 51" is a reference to Area 51. The DMZ between the Western Frontier and the Tundran Territories alludes to the Korean DMZ, as being the site of an "uneasy truce." It's also a possible reference to the Vietnamese DMZ. "Windbreak Ridge" is a reference to Heartbreak Ridge, a Korean War battlefield. The Dune Sea campaign alludes to the North African campaign of World War II. "Beachhead" is a cartoonish re-creation of the Normandy landings, but with pseudo-Americans defending against pseudo-Germans. "Fort Omaha" is also a reference to Omaha Beach. The Coral Atolls campaign in the first game and the Solar Empire campaign in the second game both allude to the Pacific Theater of World War II, with the initial Anglo attack resembling the attack on Pearl Harbor. In "Bridge on the River Styx," the fight to secure bridges leading into Xylvania alludes to the Allied fight to secure bridges across the Rhine. The Vladstag is a reference to the Reichstag. "Their Finest Hour" in the Anglo Isles campaign alludes to the Battle of Britain. The Tundran campaign in the second game alludes to the Eastern Front of World War II, especially the battle for Giorgisburg. The Tundran dreadnought Potemkin is a reference to the Russian battleship fo the same name.

The Solar Empire Fighter was inspired by the Super Sylph B-503 from Sentou Yousei Yukikaze. Similarly, the Solar Gunship is quite clearly an Orca Fighter The Solar Empire's riflemen wield blasters that bear a heavy resemblance to the MA-5 Assault Rifles of Halo. The only real difference is that the Imperial weapon's magazine is inserted where the MA-5's ammo counter would sit. The Anglo Submarine. Like the rest of the Anglo army, it's colored yellow. I guess the Anglos all live in a yellow submarine. Said Submarine is the Pepper-class, perhaps named in honor of a Sergeant and his band... The Solar Dreadnought is a massive, plasma-spewing, sea-borne monster and, appropriately, is named the Qoo-Jilla. Say the name out loud and you'll see why it's appropriate. The cutscene that introduces the Anglo Isles campaign, in which Windsor and Pierce try to enjoy their dinner as the battle outside rains pieces of the ceiling on them, is a clear nod to Carry On Up the Khyber. During the final mission of the second game, Kaiser Vlad gives one to Star Wars.

Battalion Wars (Video Game) / int_fe262584	type	Cutscene Power to the Max
Battalion Wars (Video Game) / int_fe262584	comment	Cutscene Power to the Max: You know how Iron Legion has that Battlestation in the intro of the second game? Well, in the next two missions where you play as them, they don't use it. Surprisingly, the game made your Battlestation mission critical in the first mission where you play as them, but in the following missions, you don't get to use it anyway? Maybe because the programmers wouldn't want to give you an easy time massacring the poor Solars. This is possibly Fridge Brilliance as while the Battlestation is an impressive machine, it as also large and cumbersome and almost impossible to transport (not helped by that fact the Iron Legion lacks any kind of transport vehicles). It's entirely possible that the Legion couldn't get the Battlestation where it was needed in time and are forced to make do with nearer forces.
