Yes, I know that. But it doesn't say at which point during _your_ Combat
Phase that Free Action takes place. IOW, if it's before or after your
other actions, inbetween them (if you take two Simple Actions), or what.
That is what I was trying to say, not that you _get_ a Free Action when
it's your action.

Again, I know. I was reading too fast (which is usually the case when I
make slip-ups like this).
