Order to begin shooting war (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

action

I believe this is a double definition.

'order to begin shooting' is the first definition.
(as in 'action' on a film set)

'war' is the second definition.
(action can mean action in war)

(Other definitions for action that I've seen before include "Law suit" , "war?" , "Director's cue?" , "Not CIA (anag)" , "exploit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
