2012-06-12 02:31:53 - XXXXX deployed 6 troops on ?
2012-06-12 02:32:08 - XXXXX bombarded ? from ? and annihilated neutral player's troops
2012-06-12 02:32:25 - XXXXX ended the turn and got spoils
And he got a card!
So I assume all he had to do is Auto - assault a region for a card.
If a region has a singe neutral on it, how else do you know for sure that you captured it and it reset to neutral 1 again?
Going to make it more fun to take the last 7 regions from him, but very very nice to know this for MY future games.
If you bombard a region you don't capture it you only make it become a neutral 1. Bombarding a territory removes the troops on that territory and makes it become a n1. You do not gain that region.
So if you bombard a territory it will be n1 and remain n1 until someone assaults it. If it is not assaulted it stays a n1. (This would not be true if it is a neutral reset in which case it would reset to whatever the neutral reset is).
So to answer your question you can never capture a region by bombarding you can only capture by assaulting from a region which can attack the region in question. Bombarding it does not gain you that region.
