What do you mean not really? There's this silly issue with Feints, but that's it.
Oh, and the deprecated concept of a 'Full Turn' which never really took flight, but left a tombstone in the Basic Set.

I would like to know what the exception is. Keeping track of technicalities like this is one of the things i do around here.:)

Despite Molokh's spin on things, Judo Throw, inflicting damage from an arm lock, and throws from locks VERY SPECIFICALLY state that the damage part of the move, or the throw, must happen on your next TURN. Not next attack or next maneuver, but next TURN.

I happen to agree that "next maneuver" would be fine - perhaps even better than the existing rule in many ways - and "next available attack" wouldn't be too bad, especially in a cinematic game, but:

ATR calls out an extra maneuver on your turn, not another turn.

The moves I mention above (I'd need to check on things like Choke Hold) all call out that things happen on your next turn, not maneuver, and with both personal trials with a stopwatch and conversations with Kromm and Peter have confirmed that's the way they meant it (though I didn't ask about the time-warping options with ATR where you get to fire guns faster than their cyclic rate with some 'switches' turned on).
