==Story==
<b>Battalion Wars 2</b> is the second installment of the {{series|Battalion Wars}} series.
The nations of the world are at peace until the Commanding Officers of the [[Anglo Isles]], acting on faulty intelligence, launch a surprise invasion of the [[Solar Empire]]. The Anglo officers, [[Colonel Windsor]] and [[Commander Pierce]], believed that the Solars were in possession of an ancient super-weapon. While [[Empress Lei-Qo]] and [[Admiral A-Qira]] scramble to mount a defence, [[General Herman]] takes note of certain parallels between the Anglo invasion of the Solar Empire, and the [[Tundran Territories|Tundran]] invasion of the [[Western Frontier]] thirty years ago. Meanwhile, [[Marshal Nova]] is haunted by the spirit of his father, [[Tsar Gorgi]], who tries to persuade him against his "idle talk of peace".


==Gameplay==
== Story ==
The game features similar gameplay to its predecessor, utilizing a combination of third-person-shooter and real-time battle tactics. Players take control of a single unit at a time, with the option to switch command to any other unit at their disposal. Like the prequel, a significant amount of strategy is usually required during each mission. Assigning individual units to engage different targets leads to a more efficient military.

Naval units, absent from [[Battalion Wars|the first game]], now make their premiere. The {{BWs|Battleship}} is utilized for long-range attacks, the {{BWs|Submarine}} can dive down to attack enemy naval vessels, and the [[Frigate]] is an effective deterrent when battling both Submarines and air units. Although restricted to the seas, the Battleship's wide range can prove critical in providing support to ground forces. The [[Dreadnought]], the naval equivalent of the [[Battlestation]] and [[Strato Destroyer]], is also a force to be reckoned with. Also absent from the first game are enemy-held facilities that can be recaptured, which then continuously produce certain units whenever a similar unit is defeated in combat. A Barracks will provide infantry, a Factory will produce vehicles, Airbases supply [[Gunship]]s and planes, and [[Docks]] will produce naval units. There are also capture points located near a Helipad which, when captured, will allow the Commanding Officer to send in reinforcements for the current mission.

Despite the fact that the game lacks a multi-player function on a local scope, it does feature a Wi-Fi mode. In this mode, players can fight in either Co-Op, Assault, or Skirmish modes. Like the storyline campaigns, some of these missions are story-driven. A few of the missions are also part of the single-player campaign, and explain the whereabouts of [[Colonel Austin]] and [[Major Nelly]], who are never seen during the campaign events.

Considering the game's origin with ''Famicon Wars'', there are still many similarities with the handheld games.
 
* The game features Commanding Officers similar to the [[Advance Wars (series)|Advance Wars series]]. However, these COs only provide mission intel and story-related cutscenes. They do not provide any special powers to the units under their command.

* The nations of the Battalion Wars world can be considered the console game counterparts of the {{series|Advance Wars}} nations. The [[Western Frontier]] resembles [[Orange Star]], the [[Tundran Territories]] are similar to [[Blue Moon]], and the [[Solar Empire]] can be considered a parallel of [[Yellow Comet]]. Based on historic Germany, [[Xylvania]] is the closest counterpart to [[Green Earth]]. The [[Iron Legion]], while not a nation itself, could be seen as a parallel to [[Black Hole]].
