CTP has "bombard" in addition to normal combat.  Some units (the
first of which is the Cannon) can "bombard" an adjacent square, which
potentially causes damage to one unit in that square, without putting
the Cannon at risk (unless one of the units in the target square has the
"Counter-bombard" ability...).

No doubt about it, bombardment changes the whole game balance.  It's
actually a pretty nice feature, but requires some adjustment of strategy.
