=X-COM Turn Order=

** If unit panics, it will run to the south and possibly drop items in its hands.
** If unit goes berserk, TUs are set to 255 and the soldier will spend them all turning in place and randomly firing Snapshots from their weapon.
* Player takes turn.

==After X-COM turn ends==

* Smoke and fire spread, dissipate, and do damage.

==Before Alien Turn Begins==

* "Anyone alive?" check for both sides. If failed by aliens, mission ends in success; if failed by X-COM, mission ends in failure. If both sides pass, continue.

** If unit goes berserk, TUs are set to 255 and the soldier will spend them all turning in place and randomly firing Snapshots from their weapon.
* AI takes turn.

==End of Alien Turn==

* X-COM grenades on the ground with the appropriate fuse setting detonate. Only grenades primed with an odd starting number can detonate at this point, as well as any grenade whose timer expired while in a unit inventory which is now on the ground.

==Order of specific battlefield events==

In progress; placeholder notes include reaction, mutual surprise rule, movement event checks.

===Unit shot===

* Base Damage calculated. 0-200% of damage rating for projectiles, 50-150% of damage rating for explosives.
* Resistances applied as multiplier.
* Armor value for affected plate subtracted from damage.
* Remaining damage value subtracted from unit's health. Sometimes, stun damage will also be added.

===Unit takes damage from gunfire===
* Armor plate that was hit is weakened [[Damage#Armor_vs._Health_Damage|based on health lost.]]
* "Still alive?" check; if health is 0 or below, unit fails and is killed. If passed, proceed.
* "Fatally wounded?" check; 0-3 fatal wounds will be applied to the area of the unit hit(if hit on the right side, fatal wounds will be on the right limbs, torso, or head; vice versa for the left side.) Aliens skip this check unless under X-COM mind control.
* If Fatal Wound is on a leg, multiply energy by (100%-(10% * number of fatal wounds))
* Recalculate stats based on new health percentage.
* Damaged unit loses Morale based on damage taken.
* "Still conscious?" check; if Stun damage exceeds health, unit falls unconscious. If passed, proceed with turn.

===Unit killed===

* "Mind controlled" check. If unit was mind controlled, unit is returned to standard ownership.
* Unit replaced by body type object dependent on armor type, named "Corpse".
* Death scream played.
* All items dropped.

===Unit healed with Heal command from Medi-kit===

* 10 TUs subtracted from medic.
* 1 Heal charge subtracted from Medi-Kit

* Unit regains 3 Hit Points and loses 1 Fatal Wound from targeted body part.

===Unit healed with Stimulant command from Medi-kit===

* 10 TUs subtracted from medic.
* 1 Stimulant charge subtracted from Medi-Kit
* "Tired" check. If unit has missing energy or Stun damage, test is passed, continue. If unit has full energy and no stun damage, test is failed, nothing happens.
* Unit regains 10 Energy recovers 4 Stun damage.

===Unit recovers from stun naturally===

* Unit stands up from ground in square, carrying no equipment.
* If square is occupied, unit wakes up one space to the north. If that square is occupied, continue clockwise until open square is found.

===Unit revived with Stimulants===

* Unit stands up from ground in square one space to the north. If that square is occupied, continue clockwise until open square is found.

===Unit spots enemy without being spotted===

===Unit spotted by enemy without spotting back===

* Increment Firing Accuracy experience once for each enemy caught in blast. If explosive was a grenade, experience is assigned to the last person the throw the grenade; if never thrown, experience is assigned to first soldier on transport, or first HWP if you have any.

===Proximity Grenade detonation sequence===

* "Mine" check. Has any unit moved into a space adjacent to the proximity grenade on the same elevation as said grenade? If passed, proceed. If failed, end. Checked after every square moved.
* Mine detonates.
* Increment Firing Accuracy experience once for each enemy caught in blast. Experience is assigned to the unit that detonated the proximity grenade.
