Default Re: Ground Combat

Hmm, interesting. I thought it was still first-in, first dead. However there may be two mechanics at work, the first being that units on the left being hit first, but the second being that any damage left over at the end of a barrage (round of ground combat) is applied to units which are weak enough to destroy.

My current theory/observation for weapon platforms is similar. I think that although which WP is considered for destruction first may be random, that the WP's with the lowest total structure get killed first, so there is only randomness when damage done by an attack could destroy more than one type of WP on the planet. I.e., I believe I am still seeing the lowest-structure WP's dying first, if there is a large enough difference in structure between the types, as I have seen for years.
