Akodo Hachigoro Reaction: If you are attacking, after armies at Hachigoro's battlefield engage: You may target one of the Defenders units, move it to Hachigoro's battlefield, and straighten it. You have the first oppurtunity to take a battle action or pass this battle.
Naval Reaction: If you are the Attacker and your current army has more Naval cards than the opposing army, once per battle after engaging, target your Naval Personality: You have the first opportunity to take a Battle action, which must be performed by the targeted Personality or one of his Naval Followers.
Say I have an attacking Army with both Akodo Hachigoro and a Naval personality Does the following work according to the rules 1. Armies Engage 2a. I declare Reaction: Hachigoro 2b. Opponent opportunity to declare Reaction 2c. I declare Reaction: Naval 3. Hachigoro's reaction Resolves. I can move a defender in and take an additional battle action 4. The Naval Reaction resolves and I can now take a Battle action (subject to the Naval rules) 5. The defender takes an action
If this doesn't work, can you please tell me what doesn't work and why
Many thanks

Akodo Hachigoro, the Naval Reaction and Sneak Attack all give the attacker "the first opportunity to take a Battle action or pass". Note that they do not grant additional actions, they just change who gets to take the first one - after that action, play proceeds in turn order.
