    Battle March will entertain fans of Mark of Chaos for sure due to the increased difficulty and also many other gameplay improvements. Since many shortcomings of the original remain as well, however, only those fans alone will truly enjoy Battle March. [Issue#14]

    Battle March adds the Greenskin and the Dark Elves as new playable races for a new campaign and multiplayer matches. The three chapters of the campaign alternate between Greenskin and Dark Elf missions. AI and game balance haven't been improved since Mark of Chaos, but that doesn't affect the big strength of the game: it's dense Warhammer atmosphere. If you liked Mark of Chaos, then Battle March is probably for you. But it could have been more challenging.

    Battle March’s only major flaw is that it expects the player to have thoroughly enjoyed the tabletop game.

    Players who missed the original game will certainly find a solid, enjoyable, but ultimately forgettable RTS experience in Warhammer: Mark of Chaos Battle March.

    A charming but deeply flawed attempt at an RTS with Warhammer flavor.

    PROS: * The game is charming, nice graphics for it's day * Well    A charming but deeply flawed attempt at an RTS with Warhammer flavor.

    PROS:
    * The game is charming, nice graphics for it's day
    * Well done unit command and control
    * Nice range indicators
    * Decent movement and formation commands
    * Interesting environments that utilize LOS and height variations

    CONS:
    * Units have perma-death, and die very quickly.
    * Unit deaths are hard to see in the UI
    * You can't save during a mission, you can only save between missions.

    RESULT:

    If you don't play a scenario perfectly the first time, your units get decimated and the only way to remedy this is to start the mission over, which because of very long load times (for an old game that only takes 7G drive space), means unless you start playing like an experienced expert, game play is essentially watching long boring load screens until you become an expert.

    There are options to buy more troops, but even if you ace all rewards in a mission, you don't get enough gold to fully replace your losses, replacement troops are rookies and in limited supply even if you have gold.    … Full Review »
