Tan > Green
>>74677543
Is there an actual game that you can play with these with rules and such or are they just for fucking around?
>>74677706
You've never heard of firecrackers?
>>74677607
Sandnigger. Green for life!
Green fags are objectively the best, all you tan cock suckers can go melt in a fucking pan.

I just took the GI joe launchers and knocked them over with plastic darts *shrug*

>not reclaiming the upstairs of your house from the tan menace
>be about 8 years old, big fan of 'Britains' brand toy soldiers
>They were better than green army toy soldiers, but were expensive as fuck.
>had a toy tank that fired matchsticks
>loaded a matchstick in, pulled back the spring, flicked the lever, not really aiming anywhere
>match flew out and hit soldier bang square on
>match ignited and melted right in the middle of toy soldier
>An absolutely perfect shot, match stuck like an obscene spear
>Examined the soldier, it was Rommel
It was the first time I ever experienced mixed feelings. Joyous at the shot, but angry that it was Rommel.
>>74679494
Did you get arrested?
Used to play with these in a sandbox outside the apartment i grew up in until i was like 8 years old, then some iraqis stole them from me.
When i turned 18 i voted for the most anti immigration party possible.
Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that tanfags don't know what they're doing. They know EXACTLY what they're doing. tan colored scum are undertaking a systematic effort to change this color, to make Greentopia more like the backwards shithole that is tanland
That's why they attack glorious Greentopia and the plant M80s in our toyboxes. It is a systematic effort to change green culture. When Trump is president of the Greentopia, we are going to re-embrace all the things that made green the greatest color in the world and we are going to leave our children with what they deserve: the single greatest color in the history of the toys

Prolly shot them all up, blew them all up etc
>>74678973
Yes there are a variety of ways to turn it into a table top war game. Easy to find on Google.
/tg/ will give you an opinion on them.
I also had grey ones an blue ones that I used for naval battles in the pool.

I was sort of hoping the story ended with you getting to 18, joining the army and then going to the Iraqi 'Sandbox' and fucking them up.

Thanks anon.
A great man, we need another.
Both our countries need men like him.
I made an entire city of set pieces with popsicle sticks. I had the blue police officers which were ultra fags, the gray Russians, and a fuckton of green and tan tanks.
I also had orange and yellow construction worker civilians
Shit was so cash

Too be fair i fucked an Iraqi once, she had a faint hummus musk on her neck for some reason.
Also her body felt like your chin when you just shaved, the women are harrier than the men, i should know check flag.

I feel your pain brother. In 3rd grade during recess a few friends and I were playing soccer and some Mexican 6th graders stole our ball.
I voted Trump 3 months ago.

Also, proof that Green are the good guys, and tan is the sand dindu side.
>>74681816

I recently saw The Mean Greens on Steam, and thought of happier days
>>74677543
Still have a shit ton of those from like the 70s and 80s
Got some Nazi, Cowboy v Indian sets, and even some clearly Japanese ones. Sets today are shit, tried finding one for my nephew but only found vehicle sets with not-so-violent soldiers.

You use your imagination to create battles and combat scenarios.
You know... imagination? That thing where you pretend with your mind to entertain yourself? Fuck, kids these days and their smartphones, Twitter, and iPads have zero imagination and no incentive to develop one when there are a myriad of glowing rectangles around to provide stimulation. I hate to sound like one of those LE WRONG GENERATION fedora-tippers, but when I was a kid we'd play make believe games in the backyard with sticks, pose toy soldiers, and actually talk face to face with our friends.
Green was always 'us', Brits and Americans.
Tan was always 'foreigners', sand coloured, brown.
This is the natural way.
>>74682668
I don't remember the gray. They must've been banned here or some gay shit.

Fuck I hope I one day have a son that I can sit around and play this shit with, I miss it.
Just dug through the toy soldier box and found an Upper Deck "Reel Piece of history" card with 2 frames from the Finding Nemo master. I probably got it when I was 15, thought it was shit, and threw it into the box.

>>74677706
Used to set up all the troops in formation and assign rough ranges of their shots with handspans. Then you can move one each turn and take a shot or whatever, cant remember exactly but was really fun and like playing a strategy game irl.

>>74677706
>Is there an actual game that you can play with these with rules and such or are they just for fucking around?
They're made for using your imagination, so probably much too complicated for millennial kids.
I remember playing with these with my brother. One year we both got a tub of Greens along with other assorted presents for our birthdays (there was a 2 for 1 deal on them when parents bought them), so what we ended up doing was cracking open two paint buckets and painting their helmets team colors (I was Blue, he was Yellow).
From there, we made two "fortresses" in our back yard, called Fort Raptor (I had seen the Jurassic Park movies recently and thought raptors were cool shit) and Fort Somerset (brother was really into the Battletech cartoon at the time). The Forts were really just mountains of dirt about waist height on opposite sides of the back yard, but we went the whole nine yards, turning them into fortified mountains with roads, "wire" fences made out of fishing line, buildings made out of scrap wood and spare bits of cloth mom let us use from her sewing room, trenches, moats, etc.
We even used other toys to outfit our forts. Since I was Fort Raptor, I got to use dinosaur mounts and shit; since my brother was Fort Somerset, he got to use transformers and robots. Every day we'd either have mock battles or add more to our forts; things continued like this for about a year.
>>74683118
>dick isn't brown
2/10
>>74689059
Then one day our aunt brought our shithead cousins over and they destroyed both Fort Raptor and Fort Somerset with the garden hose when we were out at a friend's house. When we asked what the fuck had happened she just looked at us and smiled when she said "Oh, they got bored, so I let them play with your toys!". We ended up cornering them and kicking the shit out of them for it, but after that we kinda lost the initiative to keep building.
I do not know how many men, robots and dinosaurs died that fateful day, but the terrible Titans forever destroyed both Fort Somerset and Fort Raptor. We never found some of our toys and soldiers, so either they were buried and sank in the mud or our cousins stole them.
