Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
AI repositioning varies runs slightly between attempts
Desperados III
Guard patrol overlap creates some hidden-state uncertainty early on

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
Suppress-then-flank squad puzzles are the entire core loop
Desperados III
Finding the ideal simultaneous action sequence per map is the core puzzle
