Great game! k:

I havn't played any of the older Battle Isle games, so maybe I should do that first though, LOL.

Moon of Chromos is the best one out of the battle isle series.
Most challenging and nicest units.
I downloaded it last friday and I´m addicted since 1993 - help!- need some sleep!

Here are some general advices:

- Always try to attack in a way without the chance for a counterattack.
I.e. use aretillery, fight ground troops with helicopters, planes]
The AI has ALWAYS more troops on the map and is ALSWAYS in a better start position.
- To gain time to bring reinforcements in let the AI attack you in close combat (tanks vs tanks), but don´t attack yourself. Your unit will block the AI longer this way
- Gather crystals and bring them to your Facilitiys or depots (in depots to repair your units, in facilitys to produce new units)
- Producing units: Always try to produce units with long distance attacks (attention there: Heavy artillery has to pause one turn with attack after movement)
- If possible try to get sovereignty over the airspace. On some maps you´re not allowed to build airborne units. On maps were this is possible just do it. It´s fun destroying all ground units without any resistance. Kill anti air units first.
- Let infantry only attack from adequate ground types. They will not be hit easy if attacking oder being attacked in woods, craters, rubble
- Alyways attack with enough units to destroy your enemy. One destroyed enemy has more worth then ten damaged ones
- Alway attack with more than one unit. Each attacker gets a support bonus if nearby units attack the same target also. This bonus is not to underestimate.
- Repair experienced units and send them back to battle. A full experienced tank oder artillery unit can destroy a new enemy unit without support

I hope this helps a little

Agreed...almost !
The award for nicest units within battle isle series HAS TO go to History Line (1914-1918).
They were AWSOME with digitized pictures of the original units and complete historic data.



Too bad this one isn´t in here, my Amiga 4000 died recently - so no more historic lining...


Has there been another decent WWI strategy game ever since at all ?
