I don't like "entirely free" but "1 for 2-3" (instead of 1 for 2 and 2 for 3) and "2 for 4+" (instead of 3 for 4, 4 for 5) sounds okay. If I were designing from scratch (removing free step, free turn) I'd probably just like to remove 'step', always use MP, buy MP using AP, but that's for future battles.
for some reason I thought it was free to turn 180 degrees and 1 AP to turn more, but that just goes to show that memory can be flawed. I do think buying MP with AP (at move/2 for 1 or move for 2) is probably the most elegant way to do things. Though I also thing stationary (step) movement is its own thing, but we've been down that rabbit hole before.

Red spends 2 AP to turn around and kick green from behind.

now at 3/10 AP. Defend from the kick at -2
