I'm still unable to get .exec() to match with the ? quantifier. If the same quantifier is run in a JS regex tester the the match would work but displays a warning. This is apparently a known limitation of .exec(). The challenge is documented here.
Older versions of matchEnemies used .match() which worked as expected. Here's the final commit of matchEnemy() which used the old method.
