Weenie vote decks and actions

In commenting on another thread I looked up the rulebook. As cards cannot be drawn until the action is concluded, does combat conclude the action? If you play Form of mist for example, you shouldn't replace it since the action continues. And the same for mask of 1k faces. REF

[ quoted text not captured ] Cards can be drawn at any time, except during the referendum of a Political Action (and as specified on card text). FoM is always replaced immediately as it is played.
