Can I use Crossbow Expert to fire my hand crossbow and makeas a special attackbonus if I already declared my Attack Action?

  • When you use the Attack action and attack with a one-handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a hand crossbow you are holding PHB pg 195, Crossbow Expert

Scenario: Crossbow Expert without Extra Attack and wielding only a hand crossbow and no shield (i.e., one free hand).

On My Turn

  • I declare that I attack with a hand crossbow.
  • I am attackinggoing to attack with a one-handed weapon
  • I have committed to taking the Attack Action

Question Does that allow me to first make the attack as a bonus action andattack the use my (committed) Attack Action to shove, grapple, or unarmed strike?

Thank you. However, I am worried the use of "combat maneuver" would confuse the context. This is for all players, not just Battle Masters.
