At least it is with tanks - you have to deploy enough men to get those.

It is a bit tricky trying to move and turn the turret at
the same time. I usually try not to turn the turret, just
the tank.

I have tried, but the darn thing closes too soon or the
ants get me.

I think it is good to have several places to collect
the evidence. Interestingly, if you collect certain
evidence in certain order the mayor will give general
alert very early in the game, giving you more time
to locate the nest.

It seems the save game option don't work under EUAE, I just
get a 0 size file :(

Funnily, she seems to forgive things completely

in hospital :)

I have won that occasionally, but just don't find
that subgame very entertaining :)

Try to pass the staff diagonally, and keep up the speed
(don't bump into walls or doors). Nurses are not a big
problem, but those green suited male nurses and the
hospital guards will catch you if you don't keep on the
move.
