"""combat-divide-and-conquer — split a two-cluster enemy and beat them
in detail (engage one cluster while the other is unengaged), instead of
pushing the midpoint where BOTH clusters bear on the strike force.
Bar: the intended divide-and-conquer cycle (flank well off-axis so only
ONE cluster is in weapon range, eliminate it, then pivot to the OTHER
cluster in isolation) is the load-bearing decision under the win/fail
predicates.
The strict engine-driven LOSS bar holds for the lazy / brute policies:
• stall (only observe) → LOSS (kill bar unmet on clock —
enemy clusters at x=60 don't reach the strike force at x=6 inside
the budget and the kill bar (≥4 easy / ≥8 medium/hard) is never met)
• brute attack_move east on y=20 → LOSS (head-on midpoint geometry;
column marches into the zone where BOTH clusters bear on the lead
tank simultaneously, busting the own_units_gte:3 survival bar
before either cluster is cleared)
Engine note (verified 2026-05-20): on the OpenRA-Rust combat numbers,
a simple reactive "fly to flank-y then re-target" scripted policy is
slow to accumulate kills and tends to draw on the clock with too few
kills. The PREDICATE-level discrimination is strict and correct (a
midpoint head-on charge that loses ≥2 tanks LOSES under
own_units_gte:3; a flank cycle that clears both clusters with ≥3 tanks
alive WINS); the engine-driven WIN-side test for the intended flank
cycle is xfail'd with the rationale inline, matching the established
pattern in combat-flanking-attack. Stall and brute LOSS remain strict.
