I sometimes leave a VP without a unit in it (although units next to it) because VP's often draw indirect artillery fire from an opponent that has shells to burn and assumes there may be a unit or units in a given VP hex.
I shot at an infantry platoon that was three hexes from a particular VP hex and as sometimes happens the unit "retreated" toward the hex.
I shot the platoon again with another unit and it advanced a hex closer to my VP. :angry:
Now, I'm getting a little pissed, but shot that platoon once again from another location and it "retreated" into and took control of my former VP :hissy:
I was able to assault the disrupted platoon and take back my VP, but my frustration soon turned to chuckles :)
