Yes this is how the problem works.

Also keep in mind that an attack is only valid if the target is still alive, otherwise the attacker would move to the next one.

So pre-computing an attack plan/outcome or storing it might not be so usefull for on color, since the other color might already be dead and thus attack plan was calculated incorrectly potentially.

So it's quite a difficult/complex/dynamic problem !
