Killing me softly (Burma Road campaign)

[Albertross]

So I feel like I'm back in Northern Ireland having to deal with rioters without killing them..........how exactly are we supposed to 'disperse' or 'push' the rioting workers back without wiping them out in one volley from a unit or two shots from an armored car?

OK figured out that one myself: you have to maneuver your units so as to leave only a workers housing hex behind the rioters, then put a single hit on them (taking out the hot heads and ringleaders) so they automatically retreat. Mission accomplished!

Next task, relieve the colonial administration buildings: done that, beating off a half-hearted single unit attack in the south and a more serious one in the north. Two turns later, they still both show as objectives, even though I have moved friendly units all over them?
