Round 5: Phase 5: Battle Phase
Alegis opts to keep his units face up at the start of the phase. Phyphor has conditional orders to play Double Agent from his hand, opting to peek at MrBody's held Traitor card. Double Agent is discarded.
MrBody has three battles to resolve in the Civilian Spaceport, Holonet Central, and Mecatol Power South, and may choose the order in which he resolves them. After these battles are completed, BobCesca and Alegis will resolve their battle in Adminus Imperialis.
An important note to make here: keep in mind that each Leader may only manage one battle per round, so once they are used, they may not be used again until next round.
Sol and Lazax, don't forget to ask me to block a card. We know he has at least an energy rifle. If you can defend against it, that's cool - I could block his defense or his other attack card.
Do I have to wait for Xxcha to confirm the block or do we assume allies just go along with requests?
It's a fairly safe assumption, but I would like to get confirmation from Alegis or conditional orders for when he wishes to use or not use his racial advantage towards battles.
Huh? You should only have gotten committed troops (10) of your opponent.
To Blarney you say how many units you commit, the leader you use and optionally which strategy cards you use.
Leader is also optional, but if you don't play a leader you can't use cards.
If you have a traitor from the opponent you can specify that if your opponent plays the leader you play the traitor. Revealing traitor happens before the strategy cards are revealed.
[Xxcha power] -> [Jolnar power] -> [Every player secretly commits troops, leader, cards] -> [reveal: troops, leader and how many strategy cards you play (0/1 attack and/or defense cards)] -> [Traitor play if you have it and choose to play it] -> [reveal played strategy cards]
Yeah I told him my troops, leader, and type of card, then he messaged me with Jacko's choices. Do we both PM him which specific strategy cards we play now?

The manual is very confusing in the wording of this. It makes it sound like you reveal your leader before everything else (playing it face up) then each player chooses specific cards one at a time.
I know what I'm doing, guys. (Sort of.) After jakobagger and MrBody sent me their initial commitments, I sent back what would be public information: the unit strength, the leader, and if they were playing cards. The intent was for players to then send back their specific strategy card choices, after which I would resolve the entire battle in one post. I guess I wasn't clear enough on what I wanted back...
EDIT: To amend Alegis' post about battle resolution, the steps should be that each player commits units, leader, and notes what card types they intend to commit. These values are then revealed simultaneously, after which if a player has claimed to commit a strategy card, it is committed face down. Traitors may then played and then strategy cards are revealed, after which the battle is resolved.
MrBody reveals his initial commitments of 8 units led by the Preceptor (Strength 5), playing an attack card. jakobagger reveals his initial commitments of 10 units led by the Chancellor (Strength 5), playing a defense card. Strategy cards are committed; no traitors are played.
MrBody reveals his Strategy card, a Mercenary. jakobagger reveals his Strategy card, a Magen Energy Shield.
Total strength is 16 Jol-Nar, 15 Lazax; MrBody wins the conflict. jakobagger moves 8 units and 2 Mechanized Units to the casualties and discards Magen Energy Shield. MrBody moves 8 units to the casualties and discards Mercenary.

The conflict in Holonet Central will be next to resolve, with Alegis and MrBody performing their racial abilities.
