The game includes several improvements over the last game, Batallion: Nemesis, including custom player maps, new units such as the Spider Tank, and multiplayer.

Gameplay
Games may be anywhere from 2-8 players. On each player's turns, the player moves and attacks with his units.

There are two modes of gameplay: Blitz, and Normal. In normal, the map contains buildings the player must control to create units and generate income. In Blitz, the player has Warmachines, a special kind of unit, that can produce units and mine ore as well.

Each unit has either medium, heavy, or light armor along with a medium, heavy, or light attack. Medium armor deals with everything equally. Heavy armor is good at defending against

Scorpion Tank
Scorpion tanks are standard tanks with no bells or whistles.

Flak Tank
Flak tanks are anti-air units which are also good at eliminating infantry and non-armored units. They can kill a raptor in one hit, even if the tank has lost some of its health.

Stealth Tank
These tanks conceal themselves after moving away from an enemy or after being created. These units then gain a "sneak attack" bonus, where they do more damage. Stealth tanks have lower HP than scorpion tanks in order to make up for their stealth ability.

Annihilator Tank
These tanks are extremely strong. They can easily destroy other tanks and move through rocket fire. However, the Annihilator tank cannot move as quickly as other units and is vulnerable to air units.

Raptor
These units are very mobile, especially as an air unit, and do moderate damage. However, they are extremely vulnerable to flak tanks and warmachines, as raptors will often die in one hit to those units.

Raptors cannot be repaired.

Condor
Condors are strong air units. They cannot attack other air units, so they're vulnerable to raptors. They have poor mobility, but can easily make up for that with its strong attack and the fact that it can go over terrain regular units can't.
