[PnP] Combat and timing

[Alex Koponen]

Check out Rule 4.9 The Attack Priority Table which affects the order in 
which attacks happen in the movement & melee phase (IV).
Generally the order of attacks makes no difference UNLESS the slower 
combatant gets disabled (knocked out) or killed before their attack gets 
resolved.
