Question

Jack Daw has a curse upgrade called "Firing squad injustice". The relevant part of it says the following "When this models declares an Attack Action it suffers 2 damage which may not be reduced". In a recent game Jack Daw had attached this upgrade to Lady Justice. She used her Tactical Action "Acrobatic assault" from the Swordfighter upgrade. The relevant part of it says "Place this model within 4" of its current location, then take a (1) MI Attack Action against a target in range."

So, in this situation, has Lady Justice declared an attack action? She takes an attack action, but is that the same thing as declaring it? The action she declares which lets her take the attack action is listed as a Tactical action. Or is it considered that the Acrobatic assault tactical action generates an attack action which must then in turn be declared as well? Would it be any different if she used a "Charge" action? It is also a Tactical action which generates attack actions.

Step one of taking an action is to declare the action. So if you charge you will take 2 attack actions which you will have to declare, and so suffer damage from the injustice. 

So basically, whenever you take an action, you go through the steps on page 37 in the rulebook for resolving it and if it generates aditional actions, you go through those steps again for each of the actions? 

That makes sense.

Yes, if you think about it, there is no way to know what action you are doing and who you are targeting if you don't declare it.
