Second Front - Carpiquet Airfield

[frunobulax]

I'm playing Capt. Nemo's 'Second Front'(on a Mac - MPG version) & having just emptied Carpiquet Airfield of Me109s (and captured Caen) I now face the problem that my bombers/fighters can't capture or land at Carpiquet. I get a message that says something like "This unit cannot capture this city, use something more appropriate..". If I use one of my troops/tanks to capture it the airfield turns into a regular Allied city and so my planes can't land there either as it's no longer an airfield !!

Anyone else had this problem; is there a way around it ? Are there any units in the Allied 'Air' civilization that can capture empty German airfields ?

I remember having encountered the same problem in another SCN but I think it was a bug at that time.

You're on Mac! How nice!

If you have ICQ, MSN, or Yahoo messenger we could talk.

I'm resigned to capturing it and turning it into a city, as the AI keeps trying to land at Carpiquet and I'm tired of sending in a Churchill tank every few turns to clear out the airfield of Me109s again ! Am stuck now trying to take Cherbourg - too many SS Panzers on the horizon ! Yikes ! I think I'll mail Capt. Nemo direct about this bug... it's very annoying..! Just need a ground unit for the Air Civ, some sort of Paratrooper or something, just to take an airfield (should've set aside one of my Hosa gliders from turn 1 I guess !)

I don't have ICQ, Yahoo or MSN etc.. I'm afraid. Are you a Mac user too ? Don't seem to be that many of us out there.
