        Just checked the call to ally rule and it says all defender calls 
are made before any aggressor calls.  So Whoever wins the die roll makes 
their calls, whoever loses the die roll makes their calls and then Kyle and 
I would follow the same procedure as the defenders if either or both of 
them call allies.
        So in case 1, both Spain and Prussia make their calls and then 
Kyle and I roll off to see which of us can ask the other or not first.
        Kyle and I could probably run ours through the political escrow as 
long as Kyle doesn't mind.  We'd have to give what we'd do if called and if 
we would call and then the die roll would decide which order things 
happened in.  It's a single person call and we've talked over what we're 
going to do in either case so it's no biggie to me to just write in both 
conditions and be stuck with the results.
