An example: The PCs are in a bar and things start to get harry with a couple drunken regulars. One of the drunks is carrying a pistol and the PCs notice this in time to overturn a table before he is able to draw and start shooting. This Maneuver results in an Aspect like "Overturned Table for Cover". The PC that turned over the table is allowed a Tag for a free use of the Aspect.
The thing that is kind of confusing me is the continuing use of this Aspect. Does the player really have to spend a fate point every round that he wants to take advantage of the cover provided by the table. This seems pretty steep to me.
Granted, I have yet to play the game and am just now digesting the material. There may certainly be something that only becomes obvious in play that will mitigate my concern.
