Am I right that maneuvers that require weapon attack can be used with improvised weapon attack?

@SlowRussianMancould you clarify please – am I right that maneuvers that require WEAPON ATTACK can be used with improvised WEAPON ATTACK? I believe yes

@SlowRussianManand consequential question – is unarmed strike also weapon attack, which allows maneuver? It is listed as weapon on 149page(PhB) man this is a weird issue in the rule, kind of a bug. I treat it as a weapon at my table.

@SlowRussianMan there are some weird interactions that can result from that – just watch for cheesy abuse
