Units De-spawning in Combat

[realpoisonx]

I am pretty new and have been attacking the forgotten camps as directed by the tutorial.

However, I notice that my units will stop attacking and enter their carryalls for no apparent reason (the combat timer which is set for 2 minutes never even gets down to one minute before all of my units have de-spawned. This causes me to have to attack bases several times for no apparent reason. Can someone explain why this is happening? Is it supposed to happen?

Seems like a glitch to me.

Sounds like they have run out of ammo. If so, this is an intended part of the game. It is normal for each unit to fire their weapons for a limited period of time before being collected by the air transport units.

Agreed, ammo.

In addition this will be reduced when you get access to POI bonuses as the fire power goes up and so the overall effect of the attack increases.

Try to stay attacking targets that are within 4 levels of your offence, this will always result in a quicker win.
