While on my quest to find licensed army men I found out McFarlane made not one, but two lines of Halo figures that fit the description. Like most Halo lines I think it was pretty Spartan heavy but I’m certain.

Very reminiscent of the Star Wars Battle Packs Unleashed from about 15 years ago now, my brother collected a bunch and they fought with distinction in more than a few campaigns. There were also proper Star Wars army men around the time of The Force Awakens, a couple of anons have shared them here in the past.

The day of reckoning at last. The old Tan fortifications barely stand out on the ridge, heavily overgrown since they were pushed out of the sector by the early spring Green offensive. From the base of the ridge they seem abandoned, a minor obstacle before the pending assault. But the Greens know better; under cover of darkness scouts crept right up to the wire and could detect no lack of activity from sentries on duty, reserves bivouacked nearby, picks and shovels clanging on stones. The assault is coming none too soon - the Greys are defense in depth masters.

The first platoons file forward in silence, each face an expression of grim determination. Every soldier understands the consequences of failure - recon images of the obliterated Tan base were passed around in the hours before mustering for the attack. Order are clear: take the fortifications and drive the Greys out of the region.

Through a logistical miracle the Greens have managed to assemble a significant armored force, including a rare super heavy tank. Its presence alone gives the rank and file confidence in their success, knowing one of these beasts was a crucial factor in their earlier victory over the Tans. Intel on enemy strength is almost non-existent, though at least some armor is expected.

A lone tower juts from the centre of the fortified line, a silent stockade of sandbags and lumber.

From slit trenches, camouflaged bivouacs and underground bunkers of still-setting concrete the Grey troops pour into the fortifications, precise and almost mechanical in their every movement. It is unusual for Greys to show much emotion in the early stages of battle. Once the fight is thickest however, the trademark ruthless fierceness sets in and anyone unlucky enough to be in their path rarely lives to tell of it. The Grey soldiers grit their teeth, sight their guns, and almost by instinct unleash a simultaneous storm of fire at the oncoming Green tide.

The whole ridge suddenly comes alive with the noise of death-dealing.

The top half of the tower flies apart in a spray of shredded sandbags and Grey soldiers, drawing a hoarse cheer from those Greens pinned down by its fire mere moments ago.

Near the centre of the assault a Green tank has a tread knocked out by anti-tank gunfire; seconds later a follow-up round jams the turret with barrel pointed skyward uselessly, the fighting machine now little more than a heavy obstacle for the second wave armor cautiously creeping forward. The Greens, having accepted that casualties would be fearsome, throw in more platoons to reinforce the badly depleted vanguard.

All along the starting line to the rear of the attack, grenade launcher and mortar teams sit tight, anxiously waiting for coordinates to lay down punishing fire missions at key sections of the fortified line.

The second wave platoons pick their way gingerly through shell craters and over the wretched bodies of their fallen comrades, some hitching rides on their accompanying armor as they press forward to carry the attack through the wire. The lead tanks crunch into the jagged strands and flatten the fence into the dirt, Green soldiers sheltering to either side ready for the gaps to open up. Others keep up a heavy covering fire towards the fortified line ahead, some rounds finding their mark, others forcing heads to stay low and guns to fire wildly.

Sensing the decisive phase of the battle before them the Green generals commit their reserves to the fray, advancing alongside light armored vehicles intended for the inevitable pursuit of the routed foes. With the wire breached and Green troops pouring through to lob grenades over the walls of the fortified line and Grey defensive fire seeming to be thinning, the men can almost taste their hard-earned victory.

But not all is as it seems - at either end of the line the ground trembles ever so slightly; the shadowy outlines of Grey soldiers flitting about in the overgrown fortifications hint that their numbers remain considerable; a soft hum seems to fill the air, barely perceptible at first but steadily rising to a distressingly loud buzz...

On the left a similar Grey counterattack pours from the fortifications,largely hidden from view by the bulk of the now-immobilized Green super heavy, its treads shattered in several places by rocket impacts. Green men scramble to find what cover they can from the angels of death hovering above, with even the dubious shelter of a Humvee being preferable to the open killing ground.

Back on the right, the Grey behemoth rolls forward inexorably, almost casually crushing a Green tank beneath its treads as the doomed fighting machine tries in vain to back away. Green soldiers who mere minutes before were on the verge of triumph find themselves starting to panic; men who bravely faced the bullet streams of the fortified line now scream in terror and turn their backs to the oncoming Greys, the beginnings of a rout taking shape as the Green commanders look on helplessly.

A lucky rocket sends a Grey gunhip spiralling out of control, swiftly replaced by its wingman as the onslaught proceeds. Green radiomen scream for air support, artillery support, anything at all - but their cries go in vain as the strangely calm and collected voices on other the end smoothly order them to hold at all costs.

Increasingly isolated and cut off from safe retreat by the merciless helicopter foes above, pockets of Green troops resign themselves to a last stand, plunging deep within themselves for the courage to face the inevitable end as the Greys draw ever nearer.

Indeed it was ahead of its time. Likewise, Wild West stuff is a pleasure for me besides pirates and Medieval fantasy stuff. It's still fun to listen to stereotypical American Indian musical riffs while playing out wagon train battles and Custer's Last Stand.

You know, I wouldn’t say things are going that poorly for the Greens. Normally it is expected to take three times the loss as the defender when on offense; I don’t think it’s there yet. They should be fine as long as the Greys don’t have anymore tricks up their sleeves.

Superficially yes, it's a reasonable take with the information at hand. There are mitigating factors however:
>the Green assault is a desperate shoestring affair with what units were able to be brought to the front quickly, thus reserves are basically non-existent
>the threat of Grey weapons of mass destruction is what prompted the attack and any kind of setback is likely to result in catastrophic consequences for the Greens
>local Grey air superiority
Right before the last sequences of images the Greens collapsing - most of their armor was crippled or destroyed, squads and platoons isolated, the Grey gunships picking off their mortar and grenade launcher units at leisure, the entire defending garrison of the fortified line surging forward with strong armored support... it's literally moments away from being a Green Pickett's Charge in terms of military disasters.

Just remember Voltaire.
The 3 things you need in an effective fighting force.
infantry, cavalry, and artillery.
Throw that together and there you go.
A fully loaded assault chopper and a troop carrier full of Bad Mothers fulfills these requirements.
It's like "must haves" when baking.

Emphasis on "guided", rocket artillery of the day was about as accurate as the smoothbore muskets of the day. Tell Voltaire about a "cannon" that can fire straight into the air and have its shot impact directly on the enemy commander's HQ two miles away and he'll probably rethink his bit of wisdom.

Again. I don't see why this is an issue.

Troops are always needed. be they for a "show of force" , policing an area or for "hearts and minds"
Horse translates into mobility.
be it a tank Blitz, hussars, or dropping power armored troopers on a planet. Mobility and doctrinal flexibility.
And Artillery - when you need to reach further than you can physically do so. (which is exactly what you are using as an example)
You need combined forces.

Nah it's a paper or plastic accessory included with the set, have a small collection from over the years. If you look at the hand "holding" the jet you can see how it's supposedly laying right on the mat but somehow also slightly overtop the one jeep that is supposed to be a 3D object... but I digress. Yeah not much to find on Amazon these days outside of all those samey Chinese sets. If you're so inclined here's a decent tank you could get:

Ok I gotta harp on it a little more. Compare with the other "play" pic on the listing - notice how the layout of all the stuff on both maps is identical, save for a couple very minor changes and a few objects visibly shopped in on the right pic. The dream is dead, I'm afraid.
