Battle Phase noob question

[Skip2Mylizzle]

Hey all, new to the game. Had a couple questions. Based on the title, i was wondering if the battle phase is voluntary, or if you must engage in it? Seems silly if you arent in position to win the battle. Also, just a minor question/confirmation, unless it states otherwise, most mission cards are immediate effects right? I seen in the rulebook some things mentioned resolving on missions, as well as chains, and i didn't think the mission cards chained. Thanks for any help and looking forward to being a part of the community!

There is always a Battle Phase, except during the first turn of the game. Sending a team to attack is optional though.
Mission cards use the chain. When you play them, they go on the chain and other effects may be added to the chain.
