Combat Patrol is the first level in the Battalion Wars campaign. This level essentially serves as a tutorial to familiarize the player with the controls.
Patrol and reconnoiter the demilitarized zone on our border with the Tundran Territories. Tundra is gearing up for something and we need to keep an eye on them. It's time to put your basic training into practice and find out what kind of game they're playing!
The level begins with Western FrontierCOsGeneral Herman, Colonel Austin, and Brigadier Betty having organized a round of war games to keep the Frontier grunts on their toes. Begin by walking straight ahead and jumping over the barricade. Shoot each of the Target Dummies in the next area, using the L-Button to achieve target-lock. Once the Dummies are destroyed, use the R-Button to check the surroundings, and look at one of the watchtower sentries. Move out from the training ground, Fort Gridiron, and follow the Gold Stars.
As the player walks down the hill from the fort, a Tundran Spy runs out of his hiding spot. Chase after him and destroy the three Listening Posts nearby, which are marked as red dots on the map. Advancing further, look up at the skies to find more Tundran units, a pair of Spy Balloons. Shoot them down, and move on to the next area. Destroy another group of Listening Posts and Spy Balloons, and climb down the hill. Another Frontier grunt was attacked by the Tundran Spy, giving another reason to chase after him. Swim across the river, and press the X-Button to call the group of Frontier grunts to follow you. Press X again near the gate to order them into sentry mode, and once more to open the gate.
In the next area, take out the two enemies with help from your battalion, and shoot up the Ammo Dump to blow up the barricade. Lock onto the Recon with the L-Button, and press the Z-Button to switch control. Roll out to the next area, and smash through the barbed wire. Ride down the hillside to encounter a Tundran armored division, which ends the level.
