AI/Trigger help...enemy camp attacks neutral target?

Ok, the basic setup is I have an area with some troops seperated from the main group, that is under attack by an enemy town that only attacks them...what do I need to do to make this work?

Much thanks in advance.

You want one group of units to attack only another group of units, right? It could work like this, although this is very quick-and-dirty:

Trigger 1 - initializing groups (this could be done many other ways, but just for the sake of argument...)

Events - Map initialization
Conditions -
Actions - Add all units in RegionX to AttackingGroup
A - Add all units in RegionY to TargetGroup


Trigger 2 - first order to attack

Events - elapsed game time XXX seconds (or whatever you want to start them attacking)
Conditions -
Actions - pick each unit in AttackingGroup and do: Order Picked unit to attack random unit from TargetGroup
A - Turn on Trigger 3


Trigger 3 - one of the target units dies

Events - a unit dies
Conditions - dying unit is in group TargetGroup
Actions - remove dying unit from TargetGroup
Actions - if killing unit is in AttackingGroup, order killing unit to attack random unit from TargetGroup
