Yes and yes. I deliberately set this situation up in a 3.52 game with
my extremely reliable ally. Combat reported initial ships = final ships,
and the planet was destroyed.

Not dead sure what would happen in GalaxyNG, given it gives you
the planet as well (but at 25% of pop and ind)... maybe the other
ship would bomb it back next turn?? Although I thought I saw
something that prevented this from happening... Frans??

This is based on experience, not checking the code (my usual caveat)
