I've done an extensive search in the forums, and there is no thread about how Artillery/Missile combat is exactly resolved.
Suppositions:
For the artillery
For the missiles:
Normal combat but all combat rounds are shown as one and the attacking missile is destroyed after combat.
I plan to do some testing when I have time for it, but if you already some ideas about the subject, let me know!

I think artillery damage is based on a few rounds of combat in which the attacker can't take damage. Clearly, against a 0 strength defender (unarmored probe team), bombardment continues until the target reaches minimum strength, and in my experience bombarding a unit with approximately the same strength as the attacker yields only a little damage. Without extensive testing, I'd guess that bombardment continues until the attacker loses.
