I agree we really need to be able to equip some if not all of our troops with all that spare armor and weapons we pick up. This reminds me so much of Mount & Blade....
Never mind... >_< the bloody thing apprently lit up but its color is so similar to the standard grey I didn't notice until I saw the "You completed this on..." bit
To make things easier:
-Lower your resolution to like 800x600 so the game is bigger on the screen and mouse movement is more precise.
-Keep the sword swinging all the time!
-Don't worry about perfects, you'll just frustrate yourself over challenge.
-Worry about people leaving the screen not decaps - if your aiming for people and running them down you will end up decaping a good number in the process.
If you do your best to 'thin the heard' rather than get decapitations you'll get decapitations anyhow and get your 1013 score ;)
