Game play in AD&D is generally sequential; events do not occur to a player

$($or $$character$)$ simultaneously. For example, if I am attacking a dragon, the dragon has to

wait for me to finish before it can attack back $($or try to block my attack$)$; also, usually another

player will have to wait for me to finish before he can attack. It$$s an assumption to simplify

the management of the game $($and if you think about it$,$ true $$ties$$ in timed events are ex$-$

tremely, extremely rare and generally are due to our limited ability to capture an accurate time$)$
