pounce and bcf do not work together because pounce says to
"...give a close combat attack"

and not a close combat action to activate bcf correct?

Correct (though it says "make a close combat attack" and not "give" ).

what about pounce and cce? both say "give the character a power action... makes a close combat attack..."

Won't work, you can't activate two different effects (CCE and Pounce here) with a single action.

From the rulebook, p. 16:
"When a character is given an action, the action may be used to activate only one effect."

And that right there is why it doesn't work.

You can't give a character more than one non-free action per turn.

ok thanks for the help
