Strafe Question:
Just want to make sure I have this right. Per the strafe wording:
"As this character moves, it can attack each enemy whose space it enters"
So while strafing I can enter an enemy squares and choose not to attack certain members of the enemy squad but attack others (ie the ones without riposte or djem so, etc).

No. You either use Strafe Attack, or you don't. You can't Strafe some, and choose not to Strafe others. This is coverd in the FAQ.
Generally speaking "can" does not mean optional when you use a power in this game.

So, just to clarify, you are not not saying that he is in fact right?

Scott is correct. Strafe is either on for the whole move or off for the whole move, it cannot be turned on and off selectively to avoiding hiting certain enemies.

Quick addition, while Strafe is essentially non-optional, Galloping Attack is optional, and with Galloping you can choose to make the attack or not.

Since Strafe says "As this character moves..." they would have to reword the ability if they used "must," since, with the current wording, you would have no option: if you move, you would have to attack everyone using Strafe. By saying "can," they make the Strafe ability optional: you either can attack everyone, or you can choose not to.
