No. Air units have different retreat rules. They stay in the contested space until noncombat movement, then they move up to their remaining movement allowance (whatever movement was not used in combat movement) to a friendly territory or carrier. Also, air units cannot establish a retreat route for land or sea units.
"Two Fer One" question
-
Situation: Suppose i have two land units and i am getting ready to wage a simple land battle with the enemy next door. Also suppose that this is a coastal country, and i happen to have a transport and a battleship right on the coast.
Rather than wage a simply land battle, can’t i simply load my land units on a transport, and then call it a bombardment with an ambitious assault?. Therefore, in effect, i get a “two for one”, since i get bombardment?
-
Yes, but you would not be able to retreat your land units is the only drawback.
-
Suppose your two land units are an infantry and a tank, then you could just load the infantry onto the transport to benefit from the bombardment, and send the tank overland. That still gives you the option of retreating the tank if necessary.
