No what I meant was in the attack the glider couldn’t be taken as a loss. And after that the glider would either be removed or reused.
For example: 3 paratroopers are attacking a area that has only 1 infantry.
2 paratroopers roll a 3 thus a miss then the last one rolls a 2 a hit. The defending infantry rolls a 1 thus a hit. The attacking player couldn’t use a glider to absorb a hit.
If the gliders are in a area that’s under attack the defending player could not use them to take up losses!!
If the area is taken over the gliders are removed from play.
Common sense says you destory stuff that are about to be taken by the enemy.
I think you right though about using up fighters and bombers for that movement. I guess just move the glider with out them.
