F????E??

31a Soldiers joining battle is law (8) ??????O?

I didn't get the paper this week, Rosie, but 31a looks like [M]EN ACTION.

Thanks Nick.

18d must be MOONCALF but I don't quite get the in advance for ?OON presumably! M + ?OON + CAL + F.

Sorry, being thick - Months in advance = M inside advance or GO ON or GMOON but the G is extra!

And 11a is FIDDLEYS - FID D [S]LEYS

Sorry for the delay in thanking you Nick.

You've been a great help.

Stuck on bottom right corner, and can't make much sense of second half of extra letters.
May I have a hint to get me going again?
22d Regressively mock a person over type of bullfighting (7). ?e??n??
Thanks

REJONEO - JE[E]R< ONE O

Good this, still getting a chance at some of the clues!

Thanks, Nick. All finished now.
Enjoyable puzzle.
