Bug or manual wrong?

[Xietor]

I cast ghost riders on a province where i had a scout. I told the scout (which was stealthed) to attack province.

When the turn hosted my scout attacked the pd before the ghost riders. On p. 71 of the manual it lists magic battles as 6, and battles caused by movement and other movement like break siege as 13 and 14.

I have done this tactic numerous times in the past, and can never recall the scout attacking before the ghost riders. Could this be a bug introduced in the most recent patch?

I know that scouts have always attacked the province they are in well before movement occurred.

Sounds like a bug to me.

Hmm... in my testing a while ago, units hidden in the province attacked during the
magic phase. Thus, whether they will attack before or after the ghost riders is a
matter of luck.

Sounds like there is a battles which require movement phase and a battles which do not or at least something acting like it

Same experience here, stealthed scouts attacking the province they were hiding in attack during the magic phase.

Break Siege requires no movement, and is specifically listed in the manual as occurring after the magic phase battles. So I do not see scouts attacking during the magic phase as thematically sound or consistent with the manual.
