Operation: FORKLIFT - a turn-based strategy

[suicidal pencil]

 :o  (and yes, I just saw this game now  )

Impressive, sir. Other then a glitch and a few minor bugs it's solid. The worst thing that happened was when I tried battle mode against the bot, and on the second turn I found I couldn't move the units I deployed. Well, it sounded like I could but the image never moved. I could even deploy new units on top of the 'unmoved-moved' units, or whatever you'd like to think of them as.

Occasionally, when the bot decided it was a good idea to attack my shiny new tank with his injured infantry, it calculated that my tank took negative damage? As well, the bot was pretty easy to defeat. If I throw away my tactics and strategy the bot can be a nuisance, but doesn't look like it knows how to do much more then defend. When I'm far across the map, the bot just makes it's units spin in circles. Even when outnumbered and outgunned I found it easy to out play the bot.

I got all the way to mission 6 before I stopped

I was dutifully sending my soldiers to their deaths, making sure not to fire on my own units (never even did it once the whole game) when the private catches on to the plan, stating that I'm firing on my own soldiers, and I lost the mission. I wasn't, one of my infantry just got slaughtered by some artillery when the private said it.

The sheer awesome that this game represents makes up for any flaws I could find. Well done.

I finally got tired of seeing this game in my folder of games to play one of these days and figured I'd be better off finishing it, even if it meant cheating to skip the bugged mission.

I found two more bugs:

Spoiler

I got the money tank asploded during the fifth mission (SPUDD'S Guerrilla Warfare) and the commie general's "My money! NOOOOO!!!" speech went on an infinite loop, meaning I couldn't do anything anymore except ALT+X out of the game.

The game crashed on the same mission, after a Bears Attack followed by a "Ha ha! Not really." message.
