Comparison: Battle for Frost vs Battle for Cronos

Battle for Frost and Battle for Cronos share the same turn-based wargame foundation: up to four factions, emphasis on unit composition, terrain and supply management, and an 8-mission campaign playable on two difficulty levels.

Gameplay and mechanics differences

• New mechanics in Frost: Frost introduces additional mechanics (for example stealth and two combat mechs) that expand tactical choices beyond Cronos’s baseline systems.
• Tactical focus: Cronos represents the established base design with more skirmish and simulator content for practice and custom matches, while Frost focuses on expanding tactical systems and presentation.

Both the great games are recommended for players who seek tactical, resource- and position-driven challenges with varied unit combinations and configurable play modes.
