Each attacking unit group meets every defending group in turn. Fixed defenses always stand in front, no matter how the defender lines up. There is only one pass, then the battle is over.

Defender holds. Notice: the MG nests cannot hurt your tanks. The mines catch your Luchs instead, and only the mine clearer can attack mines.
What to watch out for
Spy firstYou only see the target's defense through a spy report. Never attack blind.
Fixed defense firstMG nests, mines, flak and the like always stand in front of the defender's troops.
The defender has the edgeThey fire first in 60 % of encounters, 30 % are simultaneous, only 10 % go to you.
Not everyone hits everyoneFlak and Patriot only hit aircraft, the mine clearer only hits mines, flak and Patriot emplacements.
One passEvery group fires once at every enemy group, then the battle is over.
Attack limitAt most 10 attacks on the same player within 7 days, shorter on fast servers.
