2 coalition members occupy one member's province with some units.
A third player makes a surprise move into the province, starting a war. What are the combat procedures?
For ease, let's say Host country 5 infantry, Ally defender 5 infantry, Attacker 10 infantry.
Is it:
A. The attacker combat is resolved versus the host country's units, 10 v 5. Then,
B. The attacker gets a second attack against the ally stack immediately following, also 10 v 5, but now with a weaker force since the first defender inflicted damage.
Or:
A. The attacker make two 10 v 5 attacks simultaneously, so he can deal full damage to each stack of 5 and then will take defensive damage from each.
Or:
A. The attacker combat is resolved versus the host country's units 10 v 5. Then,
B. The ally does nothing because it is not at war with the attacker.
If this is the case and the attacker wins, does war break out between attacker and ally once the province flips and he tries to move?
Or:
A. The 2 defender stacks are combined together and the attack is resolved all at once 10 v 10. If this is the case, suppose the defender's combined units are more than 10, does the defence team just count the best 10 units?
Or:
Something else entirely.
