The idea I think is, If I'm fast enough to act before you, I'm also fast enough to wait and act after you have acted, but I'm still inside my 1 second window for this turn.

The specific verbage is near the bottom of 366

"Finally, you can use Wait to coordinate actions with slower friends."
Correct, and when using a Wait to do this, your action will be limited to an Attack, Feint, All-Out Attack, or Ready maneuver.

You also have the option of simply acting at a lower Basic Speed, then you can use whatever maneuver you want when it is your time to act. Although I agree with roguebfl, you cannot choose to go back to your higher basic speed at some later point.

Thank you, I stand corrected. I meant to say you could use an All-Out Attack to move towards or away when your turn came.
