Players control one of two armies of miniature toy soldiers on a World War I model diorama with wooden and plastic landscapes.
[2] The
diorama is set in various locations, such as a child’s bedroom, library
and lounge, and objects such as dressers and reading lamps are at times
visible in the background.
[3] The
game features 50 different controllable units including machine guns,
mortars and tanks, with the fixed emplacements being upgradable to more
powerful versions.
Players can create
and control numerous units from a strategic command perspective or one
unit on the field from a third-person action perspective.
[2][3] They
can also command fixed emplacements that they create such as howitzers,
mortars and machine guns, or drive various vehicles such as tanks,
biplanes and bombers. When the player takes control of a single unit,
the other emplacements are automatically controlled byartificial
intelligence. When shot, the toy soldiers explode into plastic chunks
but do not display blood, in order to keep the game family-friendly.

A tower defense-style single-player campaign is available, which involves defending a base from British or German soldiers.
[2][3] The
player receives money for destroying enemies, which can be used to
equip greater defenses. The single-player game features British and
German campaigns among 24 unique levels. Once a campaign is finished,
the player unlocks Survival Mode, which involves fighting continuous
streams of enemies to last as long as possible. There are four
difficulty settings.
[3] Multiplayer is also available, and can be played online over Xbox LIVE or locally with two-player split-screen.
[2] In
multiplayer games, the player must focus on waging offensives as well
as defending the base. Scores are tracked and compared in Xbox LIVE
leaderboards.
