![]() Sarge is accompanied by various members of Bravo Company who secures the front yard, destroys a garden light providing electrical energy to Blintz's factories, and leads an assault on the Tan held front door only to find it locked. He leads the Green Army in breaking through the Tan defenses. Sarge is called by Colonel Grimm to take it back. He has also taken control of a suburban home, turning it into his personal fortress. Similarly to a plot point of game's precursor, Army Men II, the insane Colonel Blintz of the Green army has turned Tan, along with the soldiers under his command. The secondary objectives of some single player missions often deal with one of these things. Insects, chiefly ants, act as free units for whichever side is allied with them. Heroes, powerful versions of the regular infantry, possess greater durability and can cause great substantially more damage than their cohorts before being destroyed. Power-ups, which can improve the speed, restore the health, or increase the damage of whichever side finds them first, cause a disparity between the sides. Level balance can be changed by other factors. Players must balance strengths and weaknesses of their forces and their opponent's forces with the cost of producing the units. Countering the half-track with a tank would leave a weakness to choppers. Without breaking a sweat, a cadre of snipers could wipe out a battalion of grunts, but snipers would be helpless against a half-track. Aside from grunts and grenadiers, infantry units have a special tasks: Minesweepers defuse mines, snipers are deadly from distance and mortar men, especially three or more, rain ruination on buildings in short order.ĭue to the nature of each unit, players must counter whatever they are facing. Vehicles range from dump trucks and base-building bulldozers to helicopters, tanks and half-tracks to Dum-dums, suicidal robots armed with firecrackers. Infantry troops are cheap to produce but are not as tough, while vehicles tend to be costly. ![]() ![]() Production buildings can be upgraded to produce better units. Some buildings assemble vehicles and produce soldiers and others provide defense. ![]() Because both factions have access to the same units, or infantry and vehicles, advantage lies at how they're used. Players use their resources to construct buildings and units. For instance, at the onset of the game the resource depot, the processing facility, must be built so that dump trucks have somewhere to unload their collections. Construction and upgrades of most buildings and some soldiers are contingent on some buildings having been built. Electricity is drawn from batteries, toasters and walkie-talkies. On destruction of a plastic object, a lump of plastic is left behind until a dump truck, the collector of plastic and electricity, slugs by and vacuums it. Plastic, required for every construct, is taken from objects such as Frisbees, dog bowls and toys strewn about levels ranging from a front yard to a kitchen counter and even a basement. A few large pieces of plastic are visible where other Tan units were destroyed.Īrmy Men: RTS's gameplay requires the acquisition and extraction of two resources to build structures, vehicles and soldiers: plastic and electricity. Gameplay Several paratroopers attack a tower as reinforcements drop in. The plot is loosely based on the movie Apocalypse Now, as the team of Green commandos must hunt down a rogue and apparently insane colonel, Colonel Blintz. The Greenies hit dirt paths, linoleum floors and carpets and weave through flower beds, strewn boxes and toy train sets to collect plastic and electricity to build snipers to clear the field from afar or amass an army that overwhelms the opposition.
