As Denmark, I want to attack Scotland, but they are guaranteed by France. If I attack Tyrone, which is Scotland's ally, and name Scotland a co-belligerent, will that draw France into the war?

No France will not join the war as they are not Allied.

There is no indicator for whether a Co belligerent will call it's allies but it's a safe bet they will since the same factors come into play as any other defending nation wanting to call in allies. France would have to be in a war and losing badly to deny a defensive cta.

Edit: oops, forgot the being guaranteed part. I don't know in that case but I would think France would be able to jump in since it seems the mechanic is the same as declaring war on both parties. Could be wrong though.

Huh, so guarantees are broke in the way that favors attackers when naming co-belligerents..

Amusingly, you can't declare nations you have a truce with as co-belligerents, even at a stability cost for violating the truce. (Clicking on the box does nothing).

Why don't you try it out and tell us? Just jump into a random game, no CB dow someone, wait for the coalition then attack the ally of someone in it and co-belligerent the coalition member.
