Please Explain First Strike

[Twistedsaint]

Could someone please explain what drill does, exactly? What does having an "extra chance for first strike" mean, exactly, and what happens when fighting a unit that also has first strike?

Thanks!

Using layman's terms... Combat between 2 units is done in a series of "rounds". Each round, the units are checked vs a % chance to hit their enemy, if they do, the other unit takes some number of damage which is subtracted from its total health. Eventually, one unit retreats or a unit is killed.

A first strike means that your unit gets chance to have a free "round".

If both units have first strike, they cancel each other.

It just means you get to attack before the other guy gets to attack so you're more likely to win.
