Actually, CE/BU movement is not MP dependent.  There are restrictions abo=
ut=20
when it may occur, however one does not have expend a MP to become CE.  S=

D5.33.

No clarification is required, IMO.  You can place or remove CE at any tim=
e=20
during the MPh or APh, within the restrictions/conditions found in D5.33.=
 =20
Pretty simple, actually.

The declaration to go CE in Klas' example has nothing whatsoever to do wi=
th=20
the firing of the sD.  Once the CE is declared, that's it.  It's a done=20
deal.  Whatever happens to the sD at that point is irrelevant to CE statu=
s.
