I had a similar thing happen when I was attacking a city that had only
four defending zeppelins. I couldn't enter the city or attack it with my
gun****ps. My cavalry couldn't enter either. I put a spy into the city, but
that doesn't result in a capture. Finally I got a paratrooper to enter and
capture the city.
I know that only land units can capture a city, but I think there is a
bug in the logic of the combinations of attacking and defending unit
combinations. Just keep trying.
