Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a third-person shooter game where players control a green army soldier to fight against the invading Tan Army. The player's objective is to eliminate all Tan forces, utilizing various military vehicles and portals to transport objects between worlds.
Story
GPN Report: Tan Army Offensive
A massive plot by General Plastro of the Tan Army has been uncovered. A major offensive is planned to seize our borders. War is unavoidable.
Col. Grimm's Speech
The Tan aggressors are on the move. Scouts have been sent to gather recon, but none have returned.
The Alpha Wolf Battalion is the most lethal force ever assembled. Your orders are simple: find the enemy and blow the living tar out of every last one of them!
Interview with Captain William Blade
Many details about this operation are classified. The Tan are in for a heck of a fight. We plan to do whatever it takes to win and end the Tan Army.
Captain Blade's father fought in this army with honor until he was shot down by Tan scum. His body has never been found. Captain Blade believes his father is still out there, waiting to be rescued. He will not rest until all tan-colored slime balls are eradicated.
Portals
These mysterious gateways allow travel between "Our World" (the world of human giants) and "Their World" (the Army Men world). General Plastro uses them to carry weapons of mass destruction between universes.
Many missions will involve transporting inanimate objects from "Our World" and bringing them to life in the battle against the Tan in "Their World". Keep an eye open for these portals.

Two Player Mode
In Two Player, you and another player can pit your skills against each other or the computer. You can engage in either Cooperative or Flag Nab-it.
Cooperative Mode

Flag Nab-it
In Flag Nab-it mode, you and another player compete on an occupied map: one side occupied by the Green (Player 1) and the other side by the Tan (Player 2). The object of the game is to infiltrate the enemy lines, find their flag, and transport it back to your base.
The Winch
The winch is a Cable at the bottom of all of the helicopters 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:
•
Power-ups
•
Mission-specific characters
•
World objects
Power-ups
Simply press the winch 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.
Picking Up 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.
Picking Up World Objects
To winch world objects, such as pieces of food or pine cones, 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 re-pressing the winch button. Units and other objects can be destroyed by dropping objects on them. Objects can be lifted, placed and then re-lifted as many times as you want.

Enemies & Characters
CAPTAIN WILLIAM (BILL) BLADE
Captain Blade is an optimistic and brave leader in the Green Army, always willing to take chances to save Green lives and prove he's the best at what he does.

Hardcore is a cocky and headstrong co-pilot who often focuses on fighting and loves Homing Rockets.
DAVE PARKER - A.K.A. "RAWHIDE"
Rawhide is a co-pilot comfortable with Rocket launchers, finding helicopter riding easier than taming a bucking bronco.
JAMES MARSHALL - A.K.A. "WOODSTOCK"
Despite his nickname, Woodstock is a madman on Machine Guns due to his experiences in jungle wars.
HUEY
The Huey is one of the fastest and most agile helicopters available to the Alpha Wolf Battalion, capable of dodging enemy projectiles with relative ease when unencumbered.
CHINOOK
The Chinook is not the fastest helicopter, but it can carry heavy loads, take a vicious beating, and has more powerful armaments than the Huey to compensate for its lack of agility.
SUPER STALLION
The Super Stallion is a fast helicopter with powerful weaponry and heavy armor, capable of carrying heavy loads without a significant performance hit.
APACHE
The Apache represents the ultimate in modern helicopter technology, being fast, agile, equipped with the most powerful weapons, and having the strongest armor, while carrying heavy loads with little impact on its speed.
INFANTRY
The Tan elite guard are easily killed but just as easily replaced, with new members drafted into their military ranks only hours after being made.
RIFLEMEN
Riflemen are the most expendable ground units of the Tan Army; though not the strongest, they should not be underestimated.
FLAMETHROWERS
Flamethrowers are one of the most feared enemy units, armed with cannons capable of spewing flaming death.
BAZOOKA MEN
Bazooka Men are Tan soldiers armed with portable rocket launchers, known to take out the occasional plane or 'Copter despite not being the best shots.
Items & Weapons
MACHINE GUNS
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 infantry men.
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.
SWARM ROCKET
The Swarm Rocket is another tracking weapon. The sheer volume of these powerful rockets makes this the ideal weapon for crowd control.
NAPALM
Shooting Napalm bombs causes a series of explosions across a large area of terrain as the effect of the jellied explosives spread across the land.
FLARES
Firing a flare calls in reinforcement ground units. Two paratrooper M-80 Infantry men will drop from passing planes and attack enemy units.
ARMOR PIERCING (INCREASED DAMAGE)
This Power-up temporarily increases the damage effect of any and all of your currently stocked weapons.
SUPER WEAPON JAMMER (INVULNERABILITY)

NAPALM (Ammo Power-up)
This adds Napalm bombs to the 'Copter's current Napalm ammo reserve.
Tips & Maps
Insects
Insects are enemies to both Green and Tan armies and can be motivated to attack either side.
Dropping world objects
Dropping objects like rocks and apples on enemies saves ammo and is enjoyable.
Choose your co-pilot wisely
Each co-pilot has a weapon specialty that aids in completing specific mission types.
Use your overhead map
The overhead map helps locate enemy units and objectives quickly.
Pay close attention to in-game hints
Co-pilots Sarge and Col. Grimm provide valuable information on mission completion through in-game hints.
Learn 'Copter strengths and weaknesses
Understanding each 'Copter's strengths and weaknesses helps in choosing the best one for different mission types.
Blue units
Blue units work for the Tan Army, carrying supplies; destroying them often allows you to collect their cargo.
