Captain Ersatz: Marshall Nova is a fairly beefy guy who always has his hands taped up, and in his ascension to Leadership over the Tundran Territories, is shown holding what looks suspiciously like a Championship Belt.Brutal Bonus Level: Bonus Mission 3 in the first Battalion Wars, right to the point of being That One Level.Breather Level: Black Gold in the first game.Bragging Rights Reward: In the second game, getting higher ranks gives you access to unit dossiers and concept art.Boring but Practical: Manually controlling one unit and taking out threats with it then swarming with your other units sometimes works with ridiculous effectiveness.Blood Knights: General Herman, Tsar Gorgi, and Governator Kommadant Ubel.In the first game's mission Black Gold, Tsar Gorgi comes back from an exile that was never mentioned to send out 6 Fighters.which aren't even around in the final mission, the only one where Tundran forces appear again in the game.
