![]() The Grey Army is located in the western, southwest, and southern part of the Plastic World because it borders the Tan nation (which according to Army Men: World War lies in the Western Part of the World). The same thing continued to happen during the following events that led to the opening of the first portal. But when Sarge approached the Cemetery through a city that led directly there, the Grays began to attack him and the Tan, at the same time. After successfully completing this mission, the Colonel gave the Green army the information about the keys: He knew their secrets, describing that putting the 3 keys together in a triangle shape would create a device that would open a portal with unknown powers, which was nearby, in a Cemetery. But after this Sarge is assigned the task of escorting him to a safehouse on the other side of a bridge, since the Tan had blocked the way for the passage of vehicles. ![]() Upon rescuing him he gave Sarge the blue key. The Tans took the Colonel very seriously, to the point that they deployed 3 tanks and troops in the place, not to let him go out of his mansion or have contact with anyone. In exchange for helping his nation to liberate a factory taken over by the Tan and help him to escape from the territory around his mansion ( Army Men & Army Men 3D). In fact, the last key and information about its power and secret. The Colonel gives the Green army one key of the 3 used to open the first portal. In Army Men 3D, a Grey retired Colonel is involved in the last missions. They are also at war with each other and Sarge finds himself in a three-way shooting match. Whilst both are at war with Green, or at least with him. The first encounter with Grey forces is in the original PC game: Sarge is attempting to outflank the Tan and finds himself on the Grey-Tan border. Also, in the real world, plastic army men with a Grey scheme were typically associated with the American Confederacy in contrast with their opposing color the blue and even the creators of the Army Men PC games used this influence at least partially in making the Grey Nation. With the opening letters to the last missions stating something about the capital and the presence Grey and Tan forces engaging in combat throughout the city and cemetery, then it is very logically possible that the city was the Grey Capital under Tan occupation and that the majority of the southern bayou region is the Grey Nation itself. The colonel in the bayou level had a mansion house in the swamplands and the weapons facility you retake from the Tan has unfinished Grey tanks. The reason for this statement is that in Army Men 3D during the Bayou campaign you have what is heavily implied to be Grey settlements, weapon factories, and the occupied Grey capital at the end of the game. If we make educated inferences from the first Army Men games (Army Men for the PC and Army Men 3D) the opening video states about the natural geography of the world "from the northern mountains, to the western desert, and as far as the southern swamps." then most of the Grey Nation is in the southern lands. Now, most of their country is occupied with the Grays staging guerilla war to win back their homeland. ![]() Sarge with 3 Grey soldiers in Sarge's Heroes.Īccording to some recent sources from the internet archive and the concept discussions of the 3DO staff, the Grey Nation was once a powerful nation of proud warriors whose pride became their downfall when they were invaded by the Tan they were too sure of their might to ask the Green for help when the Tan were conquering their country. However, their relation with the other nations is unknown. The Grey are at war with the Tan Republic in most games in which they appear. Also, the guerrilla tactics employed by the Grey are reminiscent of the Vietnam War era Viet-Cong. ![]() Their beleaguered state during the onset of the events of Army Men PC and from some citation from the 3DO staff hint at the Grey Nation as an amalgam of WWII era Russia but in a weaker capacity just as the Greens represented as an underdog America in the PC games. The Grey plastic army takes or took its influence or inspiration (according to the original creators) from the civil war plastic play-sets with the Grey representing the Civil War era Confederacy.
