	B2 super battle droid - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		One of the main design flaws of the standard B1 battle droid was its reliance on a Droid Control Ship to provide a signal; if the ships were disabled, the battle droids would become useless.
		Super battle droids saw use throughout the Clone Wars as soldiers for the Confederacy along with its smaller cousins and the dreaded droidekas.
		Though the first super battle droids seen on Geonosis wore an unpainted dull silver tone, many of the droids used in later battles of the Clone Wars were painted a metallic blue, likely to differentiate them from the red coloration the Confederacy used for its standard battle droids, or perhaps due to varying manufacturers.

	Ogre Battle 64 for Nintendo 64 Review - Nintendo 64 Ogre Battle 64 Review
		Building on this somewhat archetypal premise, Ogre Battle 64 spins a complex and involving tale of political intrigue, personal relationships, and battlefield drama using numerous cutscenes and in-game dialogue.
		As in the original Ogre Battle, you don't have direct control during combat; instead, you direct the battle by deciding on your unit's formation and issuing commands.
		As the battle wears on, the option to retreat becomes available, and finally the option to call for the help of one of the four elemental goddesses is provided.This is just the beginning of Ogre Battle 64's staggering attention to detail.

		As a final, unnerving touch at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, a howling host swept over the rim of the hill and careened down the steep slope -- not soldiers, but rather camp followers.
