Squad Wars is a unique massive multiplayer mode where squads will battle in a very large map for dominance.

Battalion features a no-download system where you can login and play from anywhere, instantly. It is a full sound and graphic game where you control a battalion of troops and resources and must use them tactically against your opponents. The game is entirely online and there is always someone available to be battled. You can play against the computer or against up to three other real players.

Battalion is currently free for the duration of the beta testing and most of the game will be free forever. Give it a try at www.urbansquall.com.
