So when do I decide whether or not to place the power token?

Directly after you move the last unit out of an area you decide if you will place a power token to retain it.

I see, thanks, that answers my questions. But can you provide the sources for those claims? Once you do that I will mark it as accepted.

<p>Consider the following scenario in Game of Thrones Board Game:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/ppGUX.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ppGUX.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>I am playing with the green pieces.</p>

<p><strong>QUESTION 1.</strong> Can I march with two units onto area C <strong>first</strong>, apply the combat, and <strong>after that</strong> decide whether or not I will march with the third unit to B? In other words, <strong>can I wait for the combat result to decide what will I do with the rest of my units in A?</strong></p>

<p><strong>QUESTION 2.</strong> If it's the case that I can't wait for the combat result, and I must declare everything at once, <strong>can I wait for the combat result to decide whether or not I will put a power token on area A?</strong></p>

<p>Motivation of the questions: if possible, for optimal strategy, I would like to attack the blue player first, and depending on the result, I would decide whether or not I want to march with the third unit to B. Also, I would like to be able to decide whether or not to spend a power token on area A after seeing the combat result, because if I lose the combat my pieces would retreat to A and a power token would be unneccssary.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-12-29)

Consider the following scenario in Game of Thrones Board Game:

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/ppGUX.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/ppGUX.jpg)

I am playing with the green pieces.

**QUESTION 1.** Can I march with two units onto area C **first**, apply the combat, and **after that** decide whether or not I will march with the third unit to B? In other words, **can I wait for the combat result to decide what will I do with the rest of my units in A?**

**QUESTION 2.** If it's the case that I can't wait for the combat result, and I must declare everything at once, **can I wait for the combat result to decide whether or not I will put a power token on area A?**

Motivation of the questions: if possible, for optimal strategy, I would like to attack the blue player first, and depending on the result, I would decide whether or not I want to march with the third unit to B. Also, I would like to be able to decide whether or not to spend a power token on area A after seeing the combat result, because if I lose the combat my pieces would retreat to A and a power token would be unneccssary.
