Let's do a scenario. Blood Brother A uses Coagulated Entity on Anson. 4
Blood Brothers move blood to give Blood Brother A +4 strength. Anson
doesn't block. Anson plays Magesty as a strike. Blood Brother B plays
Coodinated Attack. Anson survives this by manueverying.

My question is can Blood Brother A, who has fortitude, play a Freak Drive
then play a Coordinated Attack to enter combat with Anson? If he can, does
he still possess the +4 strength?

Sentence 2 implies Sentence 3, BTW. No blood is moved until the action is
successful.

He can Freak at the end of the action. But that would be the end of things.
Coordinating Attacks is done before the end of the action. [LSJ 31-MAY-2002]

If he had untapped in combat with his own Majesty for example, he could
play Coordinate Attacks after the other combat and he would still get the
benefits of the action, yes.

How so?

According to online text, Coordinate Attacks says:

"Requires a ready ={untapped}= Blood Brother of the same circle as
another one you control who's in combat."

Doesn't "another" mean it can't be the same one?

Read the example, Bloodbrother A is entering a combat that Bloodbrother B
was finishing that was started by Bloodbrother A.

Aha, you're right, I missed that. Sorry.
