Re: [MA] Sideslip and then sidestep to side attack
A Step allows for any amount of facing change, and I see no reason to require the character's final facing to be set before seeing how the foe responded to their attack, particularly as I visualize "step and attack" as a single action (moving forward while attacking) rather than moving forward, stopping, and then attacking. That is, I would allow Arthur to change facing in response to Zach's Sideslip, here. Sideslip can still be used for positioning, of course, and there can be situations where Arthur might want to not turn to keep up with Zach (say, if doing so would expose his back hex to another foe), in which case Zach can indeed get to Arthur's side hex on his turn, but I don't think two characters circling each other constantly attacking the other's side hex would be appropriate as the typical result of such a situation.
