The rabbit army shrinks to a tenth, with the rest of the rabbit army the country must be recaptured and General Eisenhauer overthrown.
Game flow
The player can choose between two campaigns with a total of 22 missions. The rabbit side tackles twelve missions, the pig army ten. The 3D view can be rotated freely. The height of the view can also be increased or decreased. After each successful mission, the player can buy new units or upgrade his own, depending on the SP (Strategic Points).
Each unit except the tank destroyer and the reconnaissance tank has a special ability. For example, the light tank can dig in. Another function is that you can control the game speed from standstill to normal speed to double the speed. The landscapes can differ drastically: ice desert, desert, jungle and more. The weather also varies depending on the mission, but has no effect on the game.

The more than 6000 comments of the units fit every situation. SWINE can also be played over the Internet or LAN . At the beginning of each campaign, the player can choose a level of difficulty.
