Hey there, I'm nick11link.  Me and my brother Matthew are writing this guide
together (he plays, I write.)  This game is really cool.  It was originally
supposed to be a GC version of Advance Wars, but somewhere along the lines it
turned in to a sweet third-person shooter.  You can play as a variety of units
like tanks, bazooka vets, jets, and turrets.  There is only a campaign mode,
but there are several campaigns to play and for many levels more than one way
to go.  I garuntee you you will play this game for a while!  I am here to help
you through thick and thin, through the toughest battles and even the easiest
(sissies...)  Without further ado, on to the guide!

.....
The W's and .'s should be lined up.  If not, change your browser's font to
Courier New or Courier.
Also, if I give you a specific direction like west or north, chances are I am
referring to the compass in the top-left corner of your screen.  If not, I am
talking about directions relative to your map.  My directions are not always
that specific, however, and if you can't find certain landmarks like bridges
or forks in the path, check the map and find them.
Just to clear things up, by four campaigns I mean each area you visit, like
the Frontier or Xylvania.  There arent four campaing modes to play...

III. STORY
===-------
(NOTE:  Taken from game manual.)
The world of Battalion Wars has a turbulent history, served by global conflict
and only briefly interspersed with periods of tense, nervous peace.  Over time
the great armies of the Western Frontier and the Tundran Territories have
fought each other to a standstill.
They now abide by a treaty guaranteeing mutual soverignty, ther two vast
empires seperated only by a thin strip of land--a Demilitarized Zone.  Both
Sides monitor eachother closely, primed to retaliate in the event of a
preemptive strike.
Gorgi, Tsar of the Tundran Empire and supreme commander of its military forces
will soon pass the reins of command to his son and heir, Marshal Nova.
The Marshal has a more modern outlook than his father, and with Nova in charge
some dare to dream that a real and lasting peace may be possible...
But on the other side of the DMZ, General Herman of the Western Frontier is
spoiling for a fight; it's been too long since Frontier troops saw combat.
Brigadier Betty has a plan to get the men fighting fit and keep an eye on the
Tundrans at the same time--this is where you come in, as a special commander
for the "Fightin' Frontier"!
