Move/Attack Question

[kidkaboom44 0]

Let's say there are three adjacent spaces as below.

A   B

   C

I control "C" another player controls "B" and "A" is neutral.  I place a move order on "C."  I have an army of 4 units and declare that I am moving (attacking) "B" with 2 units and moving 1 unit into "A."  In what order is this resolved?

For example, if I lose the battle for "B" can I then decide not to move my troops into "A" and stay back.  Or, did the moves happen at the same time and my troops are already in space "A?"

I hope this isn't addressed somewhere else already, and if so, I missed it.  I appreciate the help.

 The way I have always played is marcher's choice. Attack march first, then move non-attacking units; or non-attacking first then march.

I'm pretty  much sure it says somewhere in the rulebook that u must march first into non-combat areas (empty) and then to enemy territory and resolve combat…

Hint: A neutral area still counts as 1 combat per march order and is therefore resolved last. See examples below:

A is your area with the march order

B and C are adjacent and are an enemy's area

D and E are adjacent and have no enemy/influence/neutral force on it

F and G are adjacent neutral forces (eyrie/king's landing at beginning of game)

You can do the following:

1- march to D and/or E, then

2- march into combat to B or C or F or G

Found it:

"Before resolving combat, all other non-combat
movement from the area assigned the March Order
must be completed." (Rulebook p.15)

So I guess you can move the units in any order you wish (but it's easier to manage if you move the non-combat  ones first) but you must move them all before resolving the combat.
