* AnachronismStew: The game's weapons and vehicles are a combination of those from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar. For instance, the standard rifle is based on the M-16 and the standard tank is based on the M-60, both from the Vietnam War era, alongside Huey helicopters. However, there are also propeller fighter planes, half-tracks, and mass paratrooper drops that were either not used or phased out by the Vietnam War.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first game lean towards a top-down tactical shooter where your soldiers can easily die. Furthermore, the tone is more sombre and the plot is minimal, and the SequelHook ending [[spoiler:where your soldiers enter the real world]] is treated as a surprise. The second game took the "toy soldiers fighting in the real world" plot and ran, becoming DenserAndWackier as the soldiers fight other toys and insects over kitchen counters and gardens.
