Battalion Nemesisis a great real-time strategy game on the web, a title that was designed as a homage to the Advance Wars series of games that is also strong enough to stand on its own. The best part, though, was that it was only the first part of a trilogy of games UrbanSquall is working on. Now, we have the second chapter to the series: Battalion: Ghosts. Fans will be relieved to hear that it's not only as good as the first game, but it also has a number of upgrades incorporated into it.
