Napalm card might be ignored

[febs]

I got the "napalm" capability, and afterwards I assaulted in Orleasnville where I had four French troops and there were two active guerrillas and a base.

"coltwi" only told me to remove the guerrillas while the base stayed there, thus compromising the game.

Is perhaps my understanding of the game and of the card incorrect?

Many thanks,
