Same. It is much simpler to explain and think about the turn sequence in this way, rather than the wrestling with the idea that for some reason you are choosing an option which you don't execute and then may later change anyway.

Anyway, although the explanation in the rules is awkward, the idea that the figures establish their positions, and then the options available are constantly changing during the action phase, is one of several key things to my mind that make the TFT combat system so enjoyable.
