Ground Combat Window

Description

| This window is displayed to show a ground combat in progress. This can be displayed during a Tactical Combat, Strategic Combat, or from the Main Window at the end of a turn. In combat, ground combat will occur if someone attempts to drop troops on an enemy planet. Ground combat can also occur if there are enemy troops on a planet at the end of the game turn.

Once troops are landed on a planet, ground combat will continue until one side is destroyed, or until 20 ground combat turns have completed. If ground combat ends because of the expired turns, then ground combat will continue for each game turn that goes by. Ground Combat only really completes when the enemy troops are destroyed, or the planet has been conquered.
