Attacking with scounts ettiquette

[Soyweiser]

Attacking with a scout doesn't block movement if it attacks the province you are currently in (so no move attack) sadly this makes it hard to scout the enemy (as that enemy has then already moved). The right way around this is to let the enemy take one province. sadly.

So if the scout attacks the current province, will that be resolved before or after other movements? And will it interfere with other movements?

If his troops are just piling up at a focal point, I'd be satisfied with the chance of getting intel if he happens not to move that turn -- as long as it doesn't interfere with his movement if he does decide to move.
