Resetting the Map Room

[bmwgs]

OK, I have heard from both old sticks and new that you can and can not reset a map room after some enemy troops have made it in. 

So my question is; if the enemy gets a few (less than 10) troops into a map room, can you up an M3 and bring friendly troops in to reset the map room so the enemy will have to land 10 more troops to take the base?

Thanks

In a related question, how long do those troops (less than 10) remain in map room?

I would just like to add... no.

Heeler talked me into bringing troops to town yesterday for this. I thought it was crap.

if you cannot reset the map room, then when is the map room "reset"
when building "start" popping or when they are all "Popped"

(Snippage from the trainers site)..."All buildings in the town must be destroyed before attempting to capture the field.  Destroyed town buildings will stay down for approximately 45 minutes (this variable can be adjusted), during which time 10 troops must be delivered to the map room via one of the troop carriers to capture the field. After the tenth troop safely makes it into the map room, a system message will appear in the message buffer announcing the captured field number and the capturing country."

I think there is a timer on troops. You can have 8 troops in, and if it takes very long it seems to take all 10 troops again. (field isn't captured when the first 2 run in)

However I don't know of any testing or verifying on this subject.

I remember from the old AHI help files it said that you had to deliver 10 troops within 5 minutes or something like that (might have been 10 minutes), so yes, they only "last" so long.

This may be one of the biggest myths in AH.  I see people send troops to V base map rooms daily to reset.   I've even started doing it myself on the assumption it works.  Guess I'll quit.

well with me, it just feels like its doing something cuz they are going into the Map Room 
i guess its more of a mental help than anything

OK, here's a question.


Let's say both the Rooks and Bish are attacking a Knight field at the same time.

The Rooks get 8 troops in and 2 die.

Then immediately after the Bish show up and let out troops, also get 8 in and 2 die.

Did the Bish troops cancel out the rook troops? 

Or are Rooks and Bish both just two troops from the capture if they get them there in time?

(i'm fairly certain that the Bish can't "use" the Rook troops and only put in two troops to get the capture, but to be honest i've not tried it, that's just a gut feeling)
