I guess I have just been playing Japan for too long. I am too set in my ways playing it in a manner that gives Japan a 40+ IPC per turn income by the end of J3… And with unlimitted production of units and all those “wasted” tranny builds that allow me to land ALL of that production value in a single move either into Asia OR into North America if I choose, with no risk to my trannies to be able to do it AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN…
Does the defender win…

Does the defender win if both the atacker and defenders roll their number that they need?

I think the answer to your question is the defender wins. If after a battle there is no troops left for either side, the defender holds his territory. The attacker must take control of the territory by having at least one ground unit left to take it. An attacker cannot win a territory with planes alone.

Also note, the defender holds the area if the attack only had air units left, last I saw a bomber squad couldnt hold berlin (or the germans just got really sad)
