Uh-huh. This is what should have been done, I guess. But from reading the
source again, I don't think this is is what actually happens. It seems we
would attack the tank, and if we won, kill the Bomber too...

This is a bug, since whether or not we can attack the tile becomes
arbitrary, dependent on how strong the bomber is relative to the attacker.
