You should polish it and turn it into a real game (I would if I were you). There were scary moments where both I and the AI were pushing a base and I was just praying to god that I would take it. I'm not sure how you decide who wins it, if it's the one who's dealt the most damage that's great, if it's the one who last hits it that's bullshit. I ended up getting the base all the times so I don't care.
