Initiate the processing of the attack * * Called from the main code (fight.cc), this method begins the actual combat * for a particular attack and is responsible for looping through each of the * appropriate phases (which then can call other related phases within * themselves). * * Note that this does *not* trigger offhand attacks, but *can* trigger other * derived attacks, e.g. cleaving o

 *      from its starting position.
