I have always thought the tactic of overrunning a combatant who had used their OA to be a pretty good one.It would seem to make more sense to me to limit opportunity actions (as it was in 3e), and to allow fighters to make more than one CS strike if they had multiple people marked.  So, can someone explain to me why the rules as written make sense or work well?  Thanks.</blockquote>
