I've updated the game to allow you to capture the other cities with your tank. This "uses up" the tank. In old Strategic Conquest games, cities built units. Since I don't have that yet, I instead magically spawn another tank.
It looks like this:
One challenge I encountered: removing the tank from the board means that there are no human-controlled units left, so the turn automatically ends. This means the end-of-turn popup window never closes, and you see turn counters rapidly incrementing. It looks really weird!
You don't see the weird popup behavior now, because I automatically spawned a tank. However in the future if neither AI nor human have any active units, it could happen again. Perhaps I need to check for this and show "no active units for AI or human; ending turn now".
