Lead your squads of school children in a real-time battle to capture the other team's flag in an epic snowball fight! Each child has their own name, strengths and weaknesses, and sophisticated artificial intelligence so all you need to do is tell them where to move to, charge or rapid fire, and they will take care of the rest. They'll run away if you leave them exposed or surrounded so make use of the terrain and be careful not to let them get exhausted.
