Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a third-person shooter where players control an elite "Green Army" soldier, Captain William Blade, to combat the invading "Tan Army." The objective is to eliminate all enemy forces and prevent them from seizing Green Army territory.
Story
Green Plastic News Report
This is a special GPN report from the front lines of the Green Army. Our Military Intelligence Division has uncovered an evil plot by General Plastro of the Tan Army.
A major offensive by the Tan Army is planning to push through and seize our borders. War is unavoidable. We must step up to the task of crushing the evil Tan forces.
Front Line Report
We are only moments away from war with the Tan Army. Col. Grimm is unveiling the new Alpha Wolf Squadron and preparing to make a speech.
Col. Grimm's Speech
The Tan aggressors are on the move and we're going to stop them. We have sent several scouts out to gather recon on Tan movements, but none have returned.
The Alpha Wolf Squadron is the most lethal force ever assembled. You have been hand-picked for this task because you're the best of the best.
Your orders are simple: find the enemy and blow the living tar out of every last one of them! Let's go melt some plastic!
Interview with Captain William Blade
Captain William Blade is the leader of the Alpha Wolf Squadron. Many details about this operation are classified.
What I can tell you is, Tan is in for one heck of a fight. We plan to do whatever it takes to win this thing and put an end to the Tan Army once and for all.
Closing Remarks
We wish all of the troops in the Green Army well. Hopefully, they can destroy the Tan menace once and for all and keep the world safe for Green plastic people forever.
We'll keep following the progress and inform you of any new developments. We now take you back to your regularly scheduled programming.

AIR COMBAT THE WINCH
The Winch is a cable at the bottom of all of the 'Copters that allows you to get power-ups and pick up, carry and drop off certain objects.
There are three types of objects that you can winch:
•
Ground troops (mission-specific characters)
•
Some world objects
POWER-UPS
Simply press the Winch button (B Button) to extend the Winch of your 'Copter and fly over the power-up item. The Winch will automatically lift the power-up to your 'Copter.
Note: In order to keep the Winch lowered, the user must press and hold the Winch button (B Button).
WORLD OBJECTS
To winch world objects, such as pieces of food, you must position your 'Copter over the object and press the Winch button to winch it up. You can drop the object you are carrying by pressing the Winch button again.
GROUND TROOPS
In some missions, the Winch can also be used to pick up certain ground troops. When you fly your 'Copter over such a unit, press the Winch button to lower the Winch and pick the unit up. It's just like picking up a power-up.
You can only Winch ground units that the mission specifies. You can't use the Winch to grab vehicles.
ARMOR POWER-UPS
Armor power-ups will restore 50% of your depleted shields.
AMMO POWER-UPS
Ammo power-ups add ammo to your 'Copter's ammo reserve for a specific weapon. For example, getting the Rocket power-up would add ammo to the 'Copter's current Rocket total.
ROCKETS
This adds Rockets to the 'Copter's current Rocket ammo reserve.
HOMING ROCKETS
This adds Homing Rockets to the 'Copter's current Homing Rocket ammo reserve.
NAPALM
This adds Napalm bombs to the 'Copter's current Napalm ammo reserve.

Items & Weapons
Machine Gun
The Machine Gun is your workhorse, and has unlimited ammo. It is aimed by your co-pilot and isn't all that strong, but works just fine for mowing down lines of infantrymen.
Rockets
The basic straight firing Rocket is a very fast, straight-shooting weapon that packs a wallop but can be difficult to aim.
Homing Rockets
The guided Homing Rocket is extremely accurate. Once it is launched, it almost never misses its target.
Napalm
Shooting Napalm bombs causes an explosion across a large area of terrain as the effect of the jellied explosives spreads across the land.
Portals
These mysterious gateways allow travel between "Our World" (the world of the human giants) and "Their World" (the Army Men world). General Plastro discovered these strange portals and has been using them ever since to carry weapons of mass destruction in between the two universes.
Power-ups
Power-ups are boxes that sit on the ground and give you ammo or special abilities for your 'Copter. To activate a power-up, simply fly over it.
Super Weapon Jammer (Purple Crate)
This power-up temporarily renders the 'Copter invulnerable.
Turbo Boosters (Red Crate)
This power-up temporarily increases the maximum speed of the 'Copter.
