Flying Kick

Hi there,
I did a search for flying kick skill and came up blank, so here's mine. I'm going to copy and paste this into the new skills sticky aswell....
........
Flying Kick. Agility Skill.
This skill may only be taken by a player who has the Leap skill.
A player with flying kick skill may choose to make a special flying kick as a part of their blitz action.
The flying kick takes place instead of the block. The player may leap an empty square to attack an enemy behind it. It costs 2 movement points to make the flying kick.
Place the attacking player prone in an empty square adjacent to the square he leapt from and also adjacent to the player he is attacking. If there is no such empty square then no flying kick may be attempted.
Carry out the flying kick as though it were a block between the two players without any assists. The defender may use block or dodge to avoid falling down. The attacker may not use block, wrestle or tackle. If the result has an "attacker down" then the attacker has fallen badly and armour dice must be rolled as standard and it is a turn over. If the defender is pushed back, the attacker may not follow up as they are already prone (no armour dice should be rolled for the attacker though as it was a successful attack).
The blitzing players action ends with the use of this skill but it is not a turnover unless the "block" went wrong or the player was foolishly carrying the ball when they made the flying kick.
.......
So, it's a cage breaking skill. No need to try and dodge in and then suffer multiple defensive assists when in one Brucey moment you can leap in and take out that dirty ball carrier. But your player going to be prone and surounded by alot of enemy players.....
Examples of placing prone....
A is attacker in flying kick
D is Defender in flying kick
X are other squares
O are possible squares for the attacker to be placed prone in.

If the "O" squares are occupied then the flying kick may not take place.
If was thinking of making it limited to AV7 players. Vampires could be vicious with this skill. But then they'd have to take leap first and then flying kick after, so they would be quite specialised....
Pity those poor skinks and gobbos though.
