BACKGROUND Since the beginning of time, the Dark Frond Swamp has been a theater for battles between Frogs and Turtles. While Turtles live in an empire based on manpower and industrial development, Frogs are ruled by an Evil King that assures the wellness of his reign through war and conquests. For ages Turtles were forced to rise the level of their military tactics to defend the borders from the brute force of the Frog army. Battle after battle, Turtle defenses weakened, giving Frogs a great opportunity. Now the Frog King is coming, with new technological warfare machines. The next assault could create a direct passage to the Turtle land. The time is right, and unexpected: Turtles are not warned about the Frogs arrival. Will the heroic captain Cracked Shell prevail even in this desperate battle?
