When an attacker stuns and kills a defender but another defender survives, do the attackers remain on the battlefield or return to base, and who scores the conquest point?

Answer
Ruling: When combat ends, if there are still defenders present on the battlefield, all attacking units are recalled to base. No one scores a conquest point immediately - the defender retains control of the battlefield and will score a point for holding it at the beginning of their next turn.
Sequence:
- Combat damage is dealt and units heal
- If defenders still remain, all attackers are recalled to base
- The defender retains control of the battlefield
- At the beginning of the defender's next turn (during their beginning step), they score one point for holding the battlefield
Nuances:
- Units cannot coexist with opposing units on a battlefield outside of combat
- Conquering (and scoring immediately) only happens if all defenders are eliminated
- Defending successfully does not score a point by itself - the point is scored during the beginning step of the controlling player's turn
- "Hold" abilities and scoring both trigger during the turn player's beginning step, not on the opponent's turn
- Units with "when I hold" abilities must be actively holding battlefields (not at base) to trigger
