These are likely to be an easy enough question that most people wouldn't ask, but since it hasn't been explicitly said (where I can easily find it) I'm gonna ask:
Question 1: Most strikes are standard or full-round actions. Most boosts are swift or free actions. This implies that I can use a boost maneuver during the same action I use a strike. For example, if I have Martial Charge*, I can use the Blade Fury (swift action) to boost my Frenzied Strike (standard action).
Is this correct?
* Martial charge is used to allow Frenzied Strike with a charge.
Question 2: If the maneuver states the action states "makes a charge attack against a target" or other words to this effect, does this count as a charge attack; i.e. +2 to hit, -2 to damage, may move up to double you speed in straight line? And may you use boost maneuvers to enhance these 'charging strikes', provided you have enough free, swift, move, standard, and full round actions to do so?
One example: using Blade Fury in conjunction with Charge of the Battle Panthera.

To answer question one: yes. In fact, you can just use the boost at the start of your turn and then initiate the strike. Most boosts have a duration of 1 round or at least your turn, meaning they affect anything you do that turn.
Question two: Yes, it's a charge done as part of the maneuver. You get all the benefits, drawbacks, and requirements of a charge. If you have a free swift action, you may use a boost to enhance them (or just use the boost at the start of your turn, then initiate the strike).
...you are always showing up to answer my questions. I need to get one of you installed on my computer; it would help speed my gaming up.
Thank you very much for you help.
