I get the impression that this is correct as well, but I agree with your
use of the word "imply".  I'm not at all sure what it is intended to be.

But do you decide which it is going to be based completely on which you
would rather do, or does the situation determine which kind of move it
is going to be?
In other words: Is a move possibly threatened by fire (I assume this is
in the judgement of the players) always a combat move, and is a move
judged by the players to not be threatened always a normal move?  Or can
you you just pick which you want to do?  Or do you always move a combat
move under fire, but can choose a combat move when you are not under
fire?  (Again, assuming players have to judge what is under fire.)  (I
rolled a 1 and two 2s for my combat moves. :)

Any other thoughts on the officialness of this?

Thanks!
