The same battle ends differently depending on who is listed first

If whoever happens to be first in a list gets a free hit, the result is unfair and hard to reproduce. This entry gives your AI a combat round that can run in two orders and in a fair simultaneous mode, plus a test that exposes the unfair one.

Why this works

In a duel where both units could kill each other, only a simultaneous round is symmetric. Resolving one side first removes the dead before they can strike back, so the order of a list decides the winner.

When not to use it

Skip it when the order is a rule of the game, such as an attacker who always strikes first. Then keep the sequence and tell the player in plain words.
