This got discussed in FRL I think. It lingered in my mind.
Reattack — re …. Means to do it again. Attack once, attack again. Chain wrestling in a way.
Counter attack …. Attacking post an attack by an opponent.
Wrestler A shoots, adjusts, shoots again — a reattack.
Wrestler A shoots, starts to back out, and wrestler B gets his own shot off at that time … a counter attack.
Differs from a simple counter movement (like a shin whizzer). It is a counter attack.
What say you?
