According to the rule the sequence should be:
(1) Both players select secretly their Card.
(2) Both players reveal simultaneously their chosen card.
(3) THEN they declare, which action they want to use their card for, Roman first.
In my opinion this means:
When (Step 2) both players have revealed their card, but have not yet declared (Step 3) which action they want to use, both player may still contemplate - seeing the revealed card of their adversary , and knowing who would move first, etc. - and finally decide, which action they actually declare.
Example 1:
I am the Roman and want to play "HELVETII (3)", whishing to use it as a supply action.
Upon simultaneously revealing both cards I see, that the Gaul has played a "MAJOR REVOLT".
I - being the Roman Player - think it unwise not to be able to move in such a turn and declare THEN: "MOVE-ACTION 3"!
Example 2:
I am the Roman and want to Play "MINOR REVOLT", whishing to neutralize an active enemy tribe.
Upon simultaneously revealing both cards I see, that the Gaul has played a "MASSIVE REVOLT".
I, being the Roman - consider it unwise to neutralize an enemy tribe, which will probably switch sides rightly therafter,. I also whish to be able to reinforce some endangerd area in such a case and declare "MOVE-ACTION 1"
I have heard, that it might be meant by the designer, that You declare which action You choose right upon revealing the card.
In my opinion though the rules are quite clear - as described above. I also thiink, this is a good element of tactical considerations...
What do You think?

I think once both players reveal their cards, the Roman player can then change his/her mind based on the card revealed by the Germanic player. The same goes for the Germanic player. I'm not even sure you could stop it unless a rule change forced both players to announce their actions before revealing the card.

I fully agree. Both reveal their cards, THEN the Roman declares which action he is using this card for. Afterwards, the German player does the same - fully aware of what the Roman declared.
I think in some Forum someone suggested it being otherwise (i.e. that you declare your action upon revealing...).
greetings and thanks for Your response.
