How many actions are required to perform a running blow? Is it one for the move and a second to attack on the move? Or just a single action for both? Cheers |

Without any special abilities it'd be two, one to move, one to hit. My original version of SBH said that "Leaders" get a +1 if charging into combat like this, apparently. You'd then need two to move away again, one to disengage and one to move, but your opponent would get a free hack as you disengage (unless you have the free disengage SA) |

Thanks goober, but I should have specified that I was refering to the running blow special ability. It allows you to engage opponants mid move and, presuming you win the combat, then complete your move. I just wonder whether it costs two actions or just one. |

Running Blow is a Special Ability that allows you to "finish" your move after attacking. You still need to spend an action to move (Running Blow) and an action to attack… Dave |

Cool. two actions it is. Cheers Dave. |

What PzGeneral said, confirmed. Goober, what version do you have? Maybe a non-English version? That sounds like a translation error. Leaders never have any combat bonus in my games besides what is spelled out by their special rules. |
