Could be a nice strategy game, but as it is there just isn't any real gameplay.
I won the land next to mine but somehow was not able to claim another one.

Yeah, I'm really missing the troop transfer... I shouldn't be attacking my own land! If you don't like the theme, that just means you took it too literally :)
There are a few game-killing bugs, too. I got one enemy land stuck at 5 and another that replenished using my troops.
I agree with the previous commentors. The idea is good, but the game would need more polishing and an AI opponent or something.
I had to jump through hoops to get the .swf file to play by itself. Sorry you didn't like the theme.
I think I attacked my own land! Yeah, I think the rules needed some thinking on this one... probably not possible to obtain more than 1 or 2 lands. If I wait long enough while I type this, I think I'll get a third though! But by then all the other islands will have 30 guys, so oh well. Yay, I did it! And most lands appear to cap at 9, so I think if I watch a couple more tv shows, I'll end up being able to conquer my entire island. Sadly, I won't have any way to move onto enemy ones after that.
