this could be improved even further:

every player moves his units present in his territtory at the same time. This 
causes no 
"collisions". (internal affairs phase)

then, you do turn-based for all units outside players own borders. And this 
causes no 
collisions since it is turn-based. (external affairs phase)

(note that during internal phase you can't exit a unit from your border, if you 
want yo have to 
do that in the external phase).

the order in which players take the external phase, should change each turn, 
not to 
advantage anybody.
