Description
I was invading a large planet that had a large (~50) number of troops present, with a mixed force of fighters and troops. But only a fraction of my units were/became visible and engaged the enemy. There seemed to be a lot of red dots, my units, at the edge of the radar map, but nothing corresponding could be found in the main display. After combat ended, even though the entire engaged fraction of my units had been destroyed, the majority were still present on the planet. I'm pretty sure that my units were pretty well supplied before embarkation onto the carrier they were dropped from, and that carrier still has 75% supply after drop too.
Besides, even if supply was an issue with most of my units, they should still be present on the battlefield anyway.
So far, I've only been thru 1 combat phase for that planet, and we'll see what happens after I re-invade with reinforcements.
Re: ground combat, units off-screen?
I've had the same problem where the enemy had fighters and I invaded with only troops. The fighters were off screen and could not be attacked. Combat continued until it timed out at 5:00. It took 5-6 turns until the fighters eventually were destroyed and the planet conquered.
