The problem with this is the not-100%-turnbased nature of FreeCiv. If
the AI decides "Ah, my howitzer, which is standing right in front of
his howitzer, will surely win, so I'll attack at the end of the turn"
won't have much chance to do that, since the human would attack
first. I'd rather just move as decisions are made.
