Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
'Knock-back' status effect is causing several gameplay issues.

1. An attack that knocks-back an enemy sometimes causes that enemy unit to get stuck on walls or other dead bodies. When this happens, the enemy unit cannot be targetted or attacked.

2. An enemy attack that knocks-back my gangster units sometimes causes the game to be locked. Somehow, the subsequent enemy attack is unable to proceed and gets stuck in an animated loop.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Enemy unit throws 'Shrapnel Bomb' at my units.
My units get knocked-back.
Subsequent enemy attack gets stuck in animated loop.
Game unable to continue. Quit. Restart.

Hey @Sapbatang, I'm really sorry to hear you've encountered an issue! I've made the team aware of this and they're going to look into it for you. Would you have any screenshots or video recordings relating to this that you could send over, please? Similarly, if you can recall any steps you've taken leading up to this happening, can you let me know? For instance, does this happen every time you use a shrapnel bomb? Any extra information could be helpful to our coders.

In this incident, it was the enemy unit that threw the 'Shrapnel Bomb' at my units.
Then, the next enemy unit in the que gets stuxk in an animated loop.

Thank you for that update, @Sapbatang. I'll pass this along to the team for you. If we need anything further I'll reach out to you again through this thread. Should you notice this happening again at any stage and are able to capture a screen recording of it, could you send it over, please? It could be helpful!
