So it looks like this:

PC1 out loud: I take a Wait maneuver.
PC1 in a private message to the GM: If the opponent steps within 1 yard, I take a Giant Step around Dirty Dan to his non-Shield side and then Attack him.

So your opponents *know* that you are waiting to do something...but they don't know what or what triggers that Wait.

The way you handled the wait maneuver in your games is simple an fair. Thanks, I will use that.

God... 4am... I should really go to bed... Damn you GURPS! :P
