General and Multiplayer Strategies
Like any real-time strategy (RTS) game, Battlezone II doesn't restrict you to just one strategy to succeed in a situation but allows for any number of set or unorthodox strategies depending on how you like to play the game, if it's conducive to actually winning by the defined game conditions. In other words, Battlezone II, despite its action elements, is a strategy game, and in order to win, well, you need strategies.
I won't even pretend to know every strategy - such a proposition is unrealistic - but the object of this chapter is to present you with some working (and maybe some not-so-working) strategies and ideas that will probably make you a better Battlezone II player. I won't even guarantee that, as your playing style may be so different from mine as to make my strategies rather moot or even pointless. But I'm hoping you'll find some of it useful anyway.
Unlike other guides for games, however, this one will look at playing against the AI as well as the human opponent. Because the two strategies are effective against either opponent, there is little reason to separate the two (the details will be handled later on). Of course, the human player will be a little more wily and unpredictable, but that is to be expected.
Before you start delving into strategies, you should reconfigure and orient the interface the way you are comfortable with it, not necessarily the way it is set up. Maybe you prefer a different control scheme or the buttons don't feel right the way they are. Change them. Battlezone II is pretty processor intensive, so tone down the graphics if the game starts to get choppy (once you're around a working base in Mission 3 you'll have a pretty good idea).
