Ok...I was talking off the top of my head...and as I haven't been playing
due to money restrictions..(not having any) for a couple of months....
I will bow to your more incisive comment!

Well..I know thats not quite right...as spell and missile combat are
done in that order......along with melee combat....
Thus.....if you want your spells off first...have mages near the front....
in case they get killed before hand.....same with missile and melee....
If you have your fighters at the front..they attack first..as you will see
from your turn.....thus.....you get rid of opponents quicker having your
fighters at start of the order....and thus hopefully take less damage!
