Can Maverick NZ be considered an attack?

[AO user]

Team X plays wolvie's AA or A-Next. I want to follow with NZ whose second action allows for AN ATTACK. Does it qualify if it leads to an attack on same action or am I over-reaching and should be happy with following w/ simple AR.  What say you?

Personally I think it's over reaching the wording on the card, I don't think that can use a nz to follow up an AA.

[OP3]

The NZ doesn't act as an attack itself so it can't be used.

Agreed.  In hindsight I could lead off with NZ then go AA then AR.  anyway I AM getting better at this thanks to y'all on the forum.  Thanks again.
