Default Capturing towns

I'm a little too lazy to go back and find the specific post, but back several pages someone complained they took a Polish town and was annoyed that the Poles kept building units there.

I think what probably happened is that the player moved a unit into the town but did not actually take it. An enemy town is not "taken" until the flag changes to your flag (or an allies', if the town is occupied by non-national supporting units.) Only certain unit types will cause the flag to change. I made a quick search of the manual and couldn't find the list of units that can capture towns; but if memory serves infantry, tank, recon and anti-tank units can capture towns, whereas air defense, artillery or air units can merely occupy the town without changing the ownership flag.
