Attacker rolls motivation to charge.

Defender rolls motivation to accept the charge:  If they pass the roll
they can choose to accept or bail.  If they fail the roll they bail. 
Sorry for the confusion.  By BAIL I mean to move backwards at 1/2 their
standard movement.

For every example there is a counter-example.  :)

(Move or swing ) AND try to remove a single suppression?

I kind of like where that is leading because it assumes that a player
has a choice between continuing the close combat or (assuming no
suppressions) that it can move backwards for its first activation and
then fire with its second.
