The '''Tundran Territories''', or the '''Tundran Empire''',<ref name="BW_Manual">[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/GCN_Battalion_Wars.pdf ''Battalion Wars'' manual]. Redmond, Washington: Nintendo of America, 2005.</ref> is a nation in the ''[[Battalion Wars (series)|Battalion Wars]]'' series. It borders the [[Western Frontier]] to its west. Each nation in the series corresponds to a real-life country; in this case, Russia.


The '''Tundran Territories''' form a nation from the [[Battalion Wars]] series. Each nation in the series corresponds to a real-life country; in this case, Russia.
==History==
Thirty years before the events of the first ''[[Battalion Wars]]'' game, [[Tsar Gorgi]], leader of the Tundran Territories, was fooled into believing that the neighboring [[Western Frontier]] had secretly developed a super-weapon. Armed with this faulty intel, Gorgi launched a pre-emptive strike against the nation. The Frontier's [[General Herman]] was able to thwart the invasion, and drove Gorgi's forces back into Tundran lands. The two nations have remained suspicious of each other for decades.

From that point on, the Demilitarized Zone on the Frontier-Tundran border had been the site of an uneasy ceasefire between the two nations. Both countries had stationed their armies along the zone, ready to retaliate in the event of another pre-emptive attack.

However, [[General Herman]] has been growing anxious lately, unsatisfied with the lack of combat that has left the Frontier troops out of shape. During a routine combat exercise, the [[Western Frontier|Frontier]] forces stumble across a unit of [[Tundran Territories|Tundra]]'s armored division under [[Tsar Gorgi]]'s command. After 30 years of peace, the two nations were at war again!

After capturing Tundra's Castle Potempkin and destroying the Iron Eight, Tundra's elite tank division, the Frontier forces begin an assault on the final Tundran stronghold. As the battle was raging, an [[Xylvania]]n Bomber squadron under [[Countess Ingrid]]'s command began to bomb both warring armies. Weakened after the Xylvanian surprise attack, the Frontier and Tundran forces called a new truce, forming the [[Alliance of Nations]] in a bid to put an end to the Xylvanian threat.

After securing the [[Dune Sea]], the [[Alliance of Nations]] traveled south to the [[Coral Atolls]] island chain to aid the [[Solar Empire]] against the [[Xylvania]]n invasion force. Once the Xylvanians are forced to retreat from the islands, the Solar Empire becomes the third country to join the Alliance.

Though the war was drawing to a end, [[Xylvania]] was far from defeated. In her desperation, [[Countess Ingrid]] steals the Sword of Honor from [[Kaiser Vlad]], and travels to the [[Crater of the Sun]] to awaken the [[Iron Legion]], a fearsome army that almost conquered the world centuries ago.

The Frontier forces make their way to the [[Crater of the Sun]], cutting a swathe through both [[Xylvania]]n and [[Iron Legion|Legion]] forces. Liberated [[Solar Empire|Solar]] Fighters target the Legion's [[Gunship]]s, eliminating airborne threats to the Frontier forces. The Allies soon find reach the [[Cenotaph]], the source of the Legion's strength and regenerative powers, and destroy it. [[Solar Empire|Solar]] [[Empress Lei-Qo]] travels to the Cenotaph's ruins to put an end to the possessed [[Countess Ingrid]].

In the final battle of the war, the [[Western Frontier|Frontier]]-Tundran alliance arrives at the [[Vladstag]] to lay siege to [[Kaiser Vlad]]'s ancestral homeland. After fighting through three layers of defences and destroying two of Vlad's prized [[Battlestation]]s, the [[Alliance of Nations]] is finally able to capture the massive building. [[Marshal Nova]] takes [[Kommandant Ubel]] into custody, and imprisons him in a Tundran gulag. However, [[Kaiser Vlad]] is able to escape by helicopter.

In the second Battalion Wars game, the Tundran Territories are first seen in Flashback II, where the player assumes control of the [[Western Frontier]] forces in order to repel the Tundra's pre-emptive strike 30 years ago.

Tundra makes its next appearance in Campaign 3, where [[Marshal Nova]] fights to expel [[Xylvania]]n invaders from his homeland. [[Kaiser Vlad]] had ordered his troops to secretly begin excavation operations in the North Tundra wastes, hoping to find the [[Solar Empire]]'s ancient doomsday device, the [[Staff of Qa-Len]], while the other nations were distracted.

Line 47: Line 50:
The fourth and final mission begins with Tundran forces defending their Radar Array from a group of [[Xylvania]]n tanks. Marshal Nova sends a wing of Gunships as reinforcements shortly after. The Tundran forces must fight their way to the north, liberating [[Western Frontier|Frontier]] and [[Solar Empire|Solar]] POWs along the way. The [[Alliance of Nations]] is reformed! Near Tundra's far-northern border, [[Kaiser Vlad]] has constructed a monstrous machine that he calls the Mining Spider, which is drilling down into the glacier to retrieve the [[Staff of Qa-Len]]. After destroying the three generators powering the machine's shield, the Alliance attacks for all it's worth. Tundra's [[Battlestation]] is the only thing strong enough to damage it, so the other units assault the [[Xylvania]]n forces in the meantime. Upon their victory, Vlad and Ubel are forced to descend into the chasm below, where they are blocked from exiting by fallen rocks and debris.

== Trivia ==
==Unit roster==
* The Tundran Territories seems to draw inspiration from both the [[wikipedia:Russian Empire|Russian Empire]] and the [[wikipedia:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]]. While the head of state is a monarch like with the former, its coat of arms is a clenched fist and is colored red. Both of which are associated with communism; the ideology of the USSR.
The Tundran Territories has almost a complete unit roster in ''Battalion Wars 2'', barring the [[Strato Destroyer]] and [[Naval Transport]].
