Good game. I'm a big fan of Advance Wars. Also much better graphics than Nemesis!
The big effect of the difficulty level that I can see is the damage enemies do.
Easy: All enemies do 70% of normal damage.
Normal: All enemies do 100% of normal damage.
Hard: All enemies do 140% of normal damage.
No effect on how much damage enemies take, as far as I can see.
Normally, I'd be pretty scared of 140%, since that's a pretty bad disadvantage.
Luckily, though, the enemy likes to spam Condors, which can't scratch Raptors.
140% of zero is... still zero.
Most battles are won by taking out enemy units that can hit Raptors, and then it's smooth sailing from there.

A note that I hope will reach the developer. The little shield-like icons that represent each mission, go bronze, silver or gold, depending on the score the player achieves in each of them. Regretfully, it does not seem to matter in which difficulty. I played all missions in hard from the start and achieved 5 gold, 1 silver and 4 bronze shields. I experimented by playing a single scenario in a lower difficulty. The bronze shield did turn gold indeed. Therefore I suggest that in some way be displayed in which difficulty it was that the each ‘shield’ was acquired. It is one of those game series that I have enjoyed the most on Kong, mainly due to my long involvement with SSI turn-based strategy classics.

The second I loaded the first mission it reminded me of Advance Wars (in a good way), can't believe people would think it was anything else and complain.

Blitzkrieg Mode is fun and all, it's great to be able to move your entire base of operations around, but it is kind of lame that there are NO normal(i.e. with buildings) missions AT ALL.

outcast2004- the editor is no longer available. There was another game called Battalion: Arena in which you could play multiplayer and create levels. There became too many technical issues so the producers shut it down. :(

I love this series, and sure, it's like Advance Wars but there's a lot of other games out there that are similar to other games. Anyways, it's a great game, extremely fun to play.

@Mikauo Xblade I think it is the condors makes the game easy, they are slow, expensive and weak, just spam fighters and take them as meat. Even if you can't take them down in one turn you can always block their way and makes them unable to harm your ground/sea units. And only a few turns later your enemy have no money to produce any units and you can crush their force with all your remaining units and money.

I got the medium and hard badge at the same time...it's easier that way. on the last one, just do whatever you can to win the sea battle and keep a long range ship to destroy everything on land with...that's the key. John out.

@General Michael: Misson 8 is one that really tests patience. The first goal is to eliminate the enemy navy, which is relatively easy because you have a far superior force. Remember that U-Boats are really good at destroying battleships. Also, if you destroy all of the hunter support and their raptors in an area, then they have no defense for your aircraft. Make sure you have plenty of hunter support to counter their aircraft. From there, you really have to be careful when attacking the enemy island. I split my War Machines and came ashore in the bottom left corner and the top right corner, and used a mixture of stealth tanks and anilators to reach the middle. I beat it on hard with this method, hope it helps. :)

On the level 10, when you pass, when Hayne said, "As soon as I destroy this little weakling", I wonder if he meant Mayjor. :(

Badge of the day took me to the third of this series and I've been playing through them all, LOVE IT! The only thing that I would like to change is the arrow keys to WASD as I am right handed, but that is all :)

This game is depressing. Even though I won every battle and destroyed their war machines, they still end up winning the war.

You should make it say some where that hard actually improves the oponents soldiers stats. Trust me I checked it with a one on one battle on the same terrain and I attacked first but their troop did devastatingly more damage.

Needs to be a way to skip the enemy's turn. Many time I just want to restart the map and have to wait.
and wait.

3) First builds for the land-based warfactory for myself was annihlator, rocket, annihlator, and then rocket. Focus on the small island up north. You will need the ore to keep going.
4) Raptors are your friends. Save the ones you have. When you build the annihlators, the comp builds bombers. You need raptors to take them out.
Alright, have fun boys and girls. This last mission was a pain.

Just beat lvl 10 on hard. Got a few tips:
1) Move one of the warmachines to the coast (preferably the one on the right - in 2 turns can get to coast, 3 turns to the ore patch). You may need hunters to get rid of subs and control the sea. Try not to use hunters when they send fleets of bombers though because bombers kill them with one shot.
2) Use the stealth tanks you start with as screens. if you put them in a row or at a chock point while they are cloaked, enemy units will reveal them but won't attack them. They need a second ranged unit, which hopefully you kept the tanks out of the way from.

Best defense on the last level is your $400 planes. They block the ground units so you can pick them off with your ranged units/warmachine

It would be nice if we could just hover the mouse over the edges to move the screen. It's a pain in the rear to click to move. Still a 5/5 game in my opinion! Amazing job!
