I hav efound that the revised Extended Combat write up goes a long way to
solving this, too.
The system is exactly the same.
BUT, the text says to describe actions first, then calculate how many AP
that takes. Likewise, the narrator ought to describe the opponent's AP in
terms of their relative advantage.

He's pressing forward hard.
