Featuring bloodless gameplay using replicas of toy plastic soldiers, Army Men: Air Combat unleashes the Alpha Wolf Squadron, an airborne Green Army unit charged with defeating General Plastro's encroaching Tan Army. Choose from two available co-pilots and fly three military helicopters (Huey, Super Stallion, and Apache) in 16 destroy, rescue, escort, and delivery missions. Engage the Tan Army in your backyard, the local playground, a picnic spot, and a beach area in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat.
Use power-ups (turbo boosters, weapon-jammers, and ammo), machine guns, rockets, and napalm to melt your opponent's forces and destroy non-discriminating life forms such as swarming bees and marauding ants. The choppers have unique strengths and weaknesses, as do the co-pilots, so selecting wisely is mandatory to successful mission completion. An overhead map provides area-scanning and enemy location capabilities as you lead the Green Army's Captain William Blade in battle.
