A barracks add +2 to the owners Combat score and 2 Trade.
A scout allows you to effectively block or steal the benefits of an opponent's buildings by standing on them.

When I have a scout on an opponent's barracks what happens with the Combat score bonus?

* Do I steal it? (His score:0 Mine:+2)
* He just loses it? (His score:0 Mine:0)
* Or nothing, I just get the trade? (His score:+2 Mine:0)

Military bonuses can be blockaded, but not stolen. So you get the trade, but **nobody gets the combat advantage**.
