   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.
