    In Table 5-12 on page 98, the sequence of play (SOP) for resolving domain rounds is as follows: 1) Events & News 2) Domain Actions are Resolved and 3) War Moves & Battles.

    Pg 122 Strategic Warfare at the end of the first paragraph says that war moves are resolved before any domain actions for the month are resolved.

    This seems to contradict. Do I have this right?

    Also if War Moves are resolved before Domain Actions, doesn't that mean when a regent making war moves in a Domain Round when his/her turn comes up for Domain Actions in the same Domain Round they must take the Move Troops action with one of their available actions?

    Thanks

    It IS very confusing. You are right, but it doesn`t actually contradict.
    I had to read it, re-read it, and re-read it again.

    No. You don`t. To move troops for a war move to attack on provinces
    other than your own you have to take a "Declare War" action, If you have
    used a "Move Troops" action and someone attacks you, and you wish to
    respond (usually the case) you have the option of reversing some or all
    of your "Move Troops" action.

    The war card rules are workable, but quite clumsily written. The
    die-hard war-gamers out there will advise using some other system. Of
    course, that may well be more complicated but still more easily
    understood. (another seeming contradiction)

    Apologies if I am being dense, but how does it not conflict? Maybe a better question is, can someone walk me through an example of how it is supposed to work?

    zshahroody replied to Peter's comments above

    Declare Ware action? Could not find this listed among the domain actions. Closest was Decree but that did not seem to imply any material effect on War Moves.

    I don't care much for the War Card method itself, however, I am trying to understand the strategic military movement b/c that can be used w/ any mass combat resolution system. Any help/clarification is appreciated.

    They contradict. The playtest text should indicate that War moves are
    resoved after domain actions are resolved. Added to the errata list.
    Thanks.

    Are you sure this should be the order of precedence, Doom?

    I may be a bit dense on this as no one really offered any explanation in the posts above, but it seems at first glance to me that perhaps War Moves should be resolved before domain actions. A regent who is attacked is allowed to respond and defend their lands, but if their domain action has already been dealt with they don't get a second one to then deal with the invasion. But if War Moves are dealt with first, then the defending regent can respond with War Moves instead of with their planned domain action.

    Sorry if this idea contradicts something else in the Rulebook but I don't have it with me to check at the moment. (So am probably forgeting something blindingly obvious).

    Kalien raises a good point. If the regent initiating hostilities takes the Domain Action "Move Troops" and the target does not take that domain action, when the War Moves phase comes around the target does not get to make responsive War Moves? Doesn't seem right.

    At the same time, if War Moves are handled prior to Domain Actions, units will move and the target will respond before domain actions are declared. This would in effect require both regents then to take the domain action Move Troops. A little bit clunky but workable.

    Thoughts?

    You already get war moves in response to an invasion. You can`t
    counter-invade, but that`s fine, because a month later you can respond,
    and if someone invades, there should be a little period of time before you
    can get your shit together and counter-attack.
