The fact that multiple players are making a tactical decision (and sometimes discussion) instead of a single player just deciding for himself means that there's the potential for it to slow up the game. Not necessarily a lot, but some.I've seen situations where the group starts to talk about it. For example, if the Striker is taking on the slightly damaged Elite and the free attack does not include a move, he cannot take out the bloodied Standard monster. He's stuck attacking the Elite. Another player will say "No, don't give the attack to the Barbarian, the other Ogre is almost dead".Granted, this can happen with any attack, but the fact that multiple players get involved in an attack by definition allows for and even encourages discussion that can slow up the encounter. Not every time, but it does happen.</blockquote>
