He could then stop in a square or maybe two to respond (next round)Also, i'm new to 4E and miniatures for combat. If F has a readied action to charge M after M moves 3 squares, how is the simultaneous motion handled?  M doesn't stop his charge to wait for F to run up.  Do they get moved alternating square by square?   M is already in motion, it doesn't make sense that F would be able to move 3 squares before M gets his 4th.</blockquote>
