Technical question on running turns

[Grandpa Kim]

I have a question that, possibly, no one but Aaron can answer.

When you run a turn, you generate new .gam, .trn, and .cmb files. If you take the same files (not the newly generated ones!) and run the turn again, will you get exactly the same result?

Now, some things won't change. If you build a mineral miner, the result will be the same in both iterations. One variable, though, is travel routing around damaging storms etc. This could change, minor though it would be. Combat could result in major differences. A few lucky or unlucky shots early in a combat could change the result considerably.

It seems to me that re-running the turn over and over would give slightly different results each time, but I just don't know if that is true.
