Basically, is it the Step that triggers the wait, or is "Step & Attack" an atomic action?
The trigger for the wait is up to the one who declares a wait. If the trigger is "when he steps within 2 hexes of me, I step towards him and attack", it happens as soon as the target steps within that range, no matter what maneuver is in progress.

It's not absolutely realistic, but from a game perspective the wait-er is delaying action to spring it when it will have the best effect and take the opponent off guard. You could see it as fancy foot work, or a timing trick.
