DEBUG MODE

It’s all going bad on the planet of Kwalasha. I’ve just sent dozens of the Federation’s finest to their deaths to restart the planet’s mining operation, only to discover that the miners have drilled into an Arachnid nest. This needs a counter-response, but the mines are no longer Command’s priority. Instead, they redirect my unit to a prison, where they want my forces to hold back a bug assault long enough to see through the execution of a dissident, which is being broadcast live.

My soldiers man the defences to prepare for the bug assault, but there’s barely enough room on the walls for my soldiers to raise their weapons, hindering their ability to shoot. This makes them sitting ducks for the hulking tanker bugs, whose incendiary spit eats through my ranks before my rocket troopers can pulverise them into bug soup. In the end, we manage to hold off the attack, but only at the cost of dozens more soldiers, all so the Federation can watch a man fry on interstellar pay-per-view.
