Sundown kid is correct. Units don’t get locked in combat. Note also that if you’ve built the airfield with supplies you control you score the point even if you don’t control the island.
Ok, so an empty (US) island on which the japanese land a single AA gun without backing it up with bombardment remains in US hands? Damn, then I missed out on one more INF on my last turn assault…
I have many of those. They are a rip off. Better to buy skytrex because its cheaper and the smokestacks don’t break off from those cheap plastic things from Panzerschiffe. Plus he does not make all the different types of ships so your resorting to buying both metal and plastic anyway to make a complete set…so you might as well save the waste and stick with metals.
