The game is based on a simple premise: your green army men fight the tan army men. Your overall goal is to eliminate a former green solider that has gone mad and procured a bucket of paint and gone tan. Methinks the designers were a little into Heart of Darkness and the picture of the tan soldier sitting on a throne with a lollipop as a scepter is priceless. There's not much more plot than that but not much more is needed, honestly. When we staged elaborate battles on our lawns, in our childhood bedrooms, and even on our bathroom counters, we needed no more reason than that. The Greens were good. The Tans were bad -- even Tans that were formerly Greens.
