;; Taking a turn:

;; MOVES. To MOVE the unit must:
;;   1) “Consider the squares that are in range [of a target]”
;;   2) “Determine which of those squares it could reach in the fewest steps.”
;;      • “If the unit cannot reach (find an open path to) any of the squares
;         that are in range, it ends its turn.”
;;      • “If multiple squares are in range and tied for being reachable in the
;;        fewest steps, the square which is first in reading order is chosen.”
;;   3) “Take a single step toward the chosen square along the shortest path to
;;      that square.”
;;      • “If multiple steps would put the unit equally closer to its destination,
;;        the unit chooses the step which is first in reading order.”
;; To ATTACK a unit must:
;;   1) “Determine all of the targets that are in range of it by being immediately
;;      adjacent to it.”
;;      • “If there are no such targets, the unit ends its turn.”
;;      • “Otherwise, the adjacent target with the fewest hit points is selected;
;;        in a tie, the adjacent target with the fewest hit points which is first
;;        in reading order is selected.”
;;    2) “The unit deals damage equal to its attack power to the selected target,
;;       reducing its hit points by that amount. If this reduces its hit points
;;       to 0 or fewer, the selected target dies.”
