Ce qui nécessite de réfléchir à diffé | French Q & A

ce qui nécessite de réfléchir à différentes combinaisons lors des combats.

I had written this as plural: "différentes combinaisions lors des combats", but on listening again, what was said before it was clearly "à" rather than "aux", so I changed it to singular: "à différente combinaision lors de combats".

Since it is actually plural - which certainly makes more sense! - I cannot understand why it isn't "aux différentes combinaisions" ?

Hmm - I'm just thinking - is this "à" operating the same as "de" with an adjective ? As in, it would be "de différentes combinaisions" rather than "des différentes combinaisions" and thus "à différentes combinaisions" rather than "aux différentes combinaisions" ? Or am I grasping at straws ?
