There will be no reinforcements. Your mission is simple: To hold out, as long as you can, with your limited resources, to allow the citizens to evacuate as much as possible.

The game is made into 4 different phases.

(Note: The gameplay GIFs below are from an earlier version of the game, many of the units below has been removed due to balance issues)

Phase1: Move

You can move your units around, and Attack enemy units by moving onto it(Capturing). note that some enemies are immune to capturing, and need to be attacked by ranged attacks. This is also true for some of your units, and some of your units are immune to being captured by the enemy- more of this on phase 4,

Phase2:Attack

You can select units, to fire on the enemy(Ranged attack). Some units can directly attack one enemy, some units cannot ranged attack, Some units can fire anywhere and will deal damage to nearby enemies, and some units cannot attack if they have moved on phase 1. You will have to consider this phase in advance in phase 1 and put your units in position to attack.

Phase3: Bonus move

Some units can move an extra turn on this phase. note that on this phase, units cannot capture. you can use this phase to advance more into enemy territory, or move your units out of enemy attack range. 

Phase4: Enemy

The enemy will move, attack and spawn on this turn. the enemies can either move/capture(Shown by red squares), or attack ranged(shown by a red crosshair), so you can predict their movement. the enemy will try to capture or attack your units. note that some of your units are immune to capturing, but every units are vulnerable to ranged attacks. the enemies will always spawn on the tiles on the far right of the area. after this turn, the day starts anew, and you go back to phase 1.

If any enemy reaches  the far left tile, you lose, and the town will fall to enemy attack. losing all units will also lead to your instant loss. your goal is to survive as long as possible.

note that this game has no save feature, at least for now - I expected to play the game in one go, and end rather quickly. however, if people survive longer than what I expect, I might have to add the feature.

This game is a prototype that I made for fun. if people like it, I might make use this game to make a better version of the game where you can replenish your units, call in air support, develop technology, save, ect.
