Naples corps before chits are selected.  In the combat sequence, chit
selection is *before* revealing forces.  Of course, I don't get to decide
which corps I am using *after* I see your chit choice.  So what I need to do
is reveal my forces along with my chit selection (i.e., in the same email).
(Just like those who choose outflank should reveal their forces with their
chit selection.)

> Here's what the rulebook says about revealing forces: (7.5.2.6.3) "REVEAL
FORCES: Both sides simultaneously reveal corps identities, the exact size
and composition of their forces and their final morale levels."  I guess
that wording could be read two different ways.  On the one hand, you could
read identities to mean 'the identities of the corps you already know are
there'.  That would be Everett's take.  On the other hand, you could read it
to mean that the exact composition of your enemy is in question until the
identities are revealed, including the number of corps.  That was my
reading.

commander outside Naples would know whether he is being attacked on two
fronts (the city and the beach) or just one (just the beach) before he
deploys his troops.  So I'm willing to concede on this point.  As JJ pointed
out, it really makes little difference...

make any adjustments to your strategy as a result of this announcement (i.e.
if you want a new escrow).  After I hear from JJ that all is well, I will
send my chit choice.
