I've seen quite a few broken games in my time, but this has got to take the cake. I've been playing through (and mostly enjoying) this game for the first time, having got it as part of a bundle on Steam. I've now reached a fairly major battle in the Sea of Black tears.

The battle consists of several stages, with one being that you have to destroy two towers and get across the bridge. I've done this part, and the following section in which a hero unit (a tree) attacks which was extremely easy to defeat using the Rock Crusher unit from afar. The problem is, I've now beaten all of the enemy units and cleared the map, building fan booths on every available spot but there is no enemy stage to conquer at all. In my confusion, I've looked at a few guides and walkthroughs all of which point to there being a stage. I've reloaded the last checkpoint and played through again - no dice, same result.

I feel like I'm pretty close to the end of the game, so it's pretty annoying that I might not be able to get past this point and might have to simply walk away from the game. Has anybody else played this game and possibly experienced anything similar or got an idea of what on earth I'm doing wrong? I've added some screenshots below of the situation.

I glanced at the Steam discussion board for the game and quickly spotted this thread about the issue:

Ah, well found thanks. Googling brought up absolutely nothing about the issue at all. Abandoning the mission and going back to it again did indeed work, but reloading the checkpoint did not. Bizarre.
