This would be defensive against Wanda's attack. Wanda is entering their zone (airspace), so they would be permitted to defend it against Wanda's attack. there's no inconsistency here. It's not that Wanda is in their airspace, it's that Wanda is moving into enemy occupied terrain which is, by definition, an attack. The Archons are not attacking Wanda, they are defending against Wanda's attack.

Side Note: the Archons, since they do not attack her automatically, must be Commanders at minimum, which since they can cast only makes sense. All casters are Commanders and can lead stacks.

The exceptional thing going on here is that Wanda can move into enemy occupied territory during Ansom's turn. She is moving to reinforce the Outer Wall, so maybe that's permitted, but moving through Airspace is the odd part. It is unnecessary. Ansom is attacking the Outer Wall with melee (not ranged, which might have put him in Airspace), even though he is on the carpet, so he can be attacked from Outer Wall. Wanda is in Tower, and can move freely through the Garrison to Courtyard, and from there to Outer Wall. Move cost remains 0, since all are part of City. There might be a modifier for height, if Wanda attacks down onto Ansom from Airspace, but that's the only mechanical thing I can think of to require Wanda to move through Airspace.

I think Parson may have wanted to test Charlie, and that's why he chose the airspace route. If he can't rely on Charlie to play the game, then he really has no hope whatsoever.
