Green Arena - m3 troops can't capture?

[TalonTSG]

Where: Green Arena
Base Attacking: V65
Bringing troops from A17 or A16

I have tested this out about as thoroughly as you can.

I began attack by taking out MR ack with a 110. Got a instant kill from flak.
Came back with an m3, straffed MR. Troops looked like they disappeared when exiting. No capture

Tried this again. No capture. 3rd Try, I filmed it. On film troops do not disappear, can see them entering MR. Could see something firing. Went back with T34, took out SG, then returned with a M3, straffed MR, practically emptied MG into it.... but troops disappear within a few feet of MR.  No capture. Filmed that one also.
Troops can be seen on film, going into MR... 10 counted.

Not sure if this is a bug, or some kind of setting for Green Arena for limited capture, etc.

I need to know what is going on with that. I'm using Green for Squad Training. Please advise.

Both acks need to be dead. It would be safe to take out the Manned Ack too.

Seems like I have taken a dozen VH bases without taking out the mainpad ack. I guess I was just lucky? Thanks for info.

Both the auto-acks need to be dead. You can take the base without killing the soft gun, but it is at your own risk...someone could be sitting in it and pick off your troops as they go in.

In other words, the automatic acks serve the same function as "town buildings." They do in towns too.
