However I am still struggling with the Movement in Combat part.
on page 127 its says:
Quote
A character can move a number of yards equal to their MOV rate an attack normally
So with a MOV 8 you can move 8 yards (24 feet) & attack - this seems fine & quite similar to D&D.
then it says :
Quote
If the attacker moves their MOV rate multiplied by 5, they may make one melee attack at the end of the round
Wait now, what? This seems to say that now you can move 40 yards (120 feet) & then attack - at the end of the round - so I guess this means their attack drops to the bottom of initiative & they wait for everyone else to take a turn. It's a little weird & I'm not sure I have understood correctly.
ALSO, I'm not sure how "Flee" is any different from just using your movement. I would think it would have some benefit to escaping since you devote your entire turn to it.

Thanks this cleared up a few things for me.
