I wish to note that you can expend one action to have your companion:
1. move up to enemy & strike once, or
2. move up to enemy & support
The animal companion continues to support your attack without being commanded to do so every round. That is, as long as the enemy doesn't move away from the animal. This is quite effective for an archer ranger.
Note: an animal companion that is attacking provides flank for other melee types. If supporting, it does not provide flank.
Where do you get the animal continues to support you? The way I read the single action a Mature (or larger) companion is it gets one action to Stride or Strike? Support is a specific action?
With a Barbarian / Beastmaster I would love to have my animal companion continue to support me, but that is not how the rules read.
