@SgtPepper:
Everything is clear, however, if all enemy air units are destroyed, then they have no chances to win, since infantry may not cause damage to air units I believe
@SgtPepper:
I mean if I attack with 1 bomber and 1 infantry and defender has 1 bomber and 1.infantry and he decides to take his bomber away as I cause 1 damage… he has no chance to win then.
Land units may not attack air units that what I mean…simply
Land units can hit air units in exactly the same way as air units can hit land units, so in your example the defender can still win.
To attempt to summarise what units can hit what:
- air can hit air, land & naval
- land can hit air & land
- naval can hit air & naval (and also land in coastal bombardment)
To take it further, the defender still wins, in the sense that he retains the territory, even if he loses both his bomber and his infantry, if the attacker has also lost his infantry. Only land units can “take” territories. So if the attacker only has air left he does not take the territory. A land unit has to remain in the territory that was attacked at the end of combat in order to “take” it.
Edit: I see Panther put up a reply while I was typing mine. Panther is our “Rules Deputy” and the best source of accurate answers to rules questions. Although I am unsure whether in his final sentence he means “unless the attacker does retreat”, rather than “does not” in the sense that if the attacker retreats the defender won’t wipe out both his units? At least that is what I think he means. :-)
