  • …and if they wanted to shoot at the charging opponent, they just should've done it the previous turn. If they didn't, it doesn't imply inaction, just being slower.
PS I'm also assuming you meant Move or Move and Attack with the six yard example, because for AoA, Move 11 would be quite heroic already!
