I have a question for those of you using the "Lunge" maneuver: do you allow a Lunge at any time? That is, is it a new action that's available at any time? I can see places where a Charge may not be allowed (no available nearest square, unable to move in a straight line) where a player might...

+1 to this, but I would add that you should bring the party in on a global discussion of rules-lawyering.
