I've been playing Battle Isle 2 up to mission 5 (The Delta, password BUFASWE) without a problem, but on this map after a while there just pops up a message by that Defense Council guy who tells me that I'm a shame for the army and lost, but nothing happened. None of my bases were conquered, no armies destroyed, nothing. This happens every time I try the mission, about one and a half hours in. Is this a bug, and is there a way to avoid it?

Ah, I found the number of allowed moves. Really took me off guard, cause nothing in the mission description even hinted towards any sense of urgency... weird.
