What is supposed to happen is that when the 4th man on either side lands, the other 3 hop out of their holes and build a human pyramid, then the 4th guy climbs them, jumps the wall and blows up the gun. It will be in the next version :) >Another idea would be that, like in Missile Command and Plaque Attack, a >man sitting in a hole is removed when you reach a definite score amount. Well, right now you can remove the man by dropping another paratrooper on him. I agree that there should be other ways to remove the men, and I need to look into that! >How about some physics?

If >they hit the cannon, it should be damaged a little. Yes, you are correct. I've planned on at least making the helicopter go out of control if you hit the back of it. I'm open for other suggestions too! >There could be two >ways the game would end: 1. by filling all holes with men, 2. if the >cannon has been damaged to a definite level. You could also let the >cannon change color each time it's damaged, to reflect its "health" >level. I like the cannon idea.
