Don't just shout "I attack!" and roll the dice. Maneuver choice, movement, positioning, hit location, and attack options are all really important!

I had one player who never seemed to grasp this (even after months of playing), it was frustrating for her, for me, and for the other players.

Do figure out what your common attacks are in advance, and write them on your sheet with all the modifiers. The Scout's player did this and she was extremely fast and effective every turn.
