Og!  I didn't read my mail for a day and I become a hold out?  
I am arguing in the name of equality.  That is not getting something for
nothing.  I was just comparing move through to other existing moving
attacks in print.  The round of movement is to ensure linear momentum.
L=mv.  Since we don't have acceleration rates and don't want to calculate
vector components for forces involved in an impale, we just say that it
requires a fullround to accelerate and bear down on an opponent.
