thank you, this makes sense.

I saw this, and the whole section seemed to be talking about maneuver to attack, but perhaps I was wrong.

I am just learning 7th edition CoC and have so far just run the starter solo adventure and the follow up Paper Chase, luckily there was no combat involved. I decided to start reading through the full Keeper book before moving onto a full session with a few friends. All was going well until I got to the section on combat. I have a couple of questions:- 1) on page 102 there is an example where it says I'm going to punch the guard, then run for the open door. However, on the very same page it clearly states that flee is an action as is to attck. Yet this example implies it would be a single action. 2) Staying with this example the Keepers reply is The guard is going to try to grab you. However, on page 103 is definately states that if attacked by melee your only choices are to dodge or fight back. this example is implying you could use a maneuver instead.Looking at the flow chart on page 109 would seem to backup the example not page 103.
