Re: (TFT) First attacks in HTH

["John J Hyland" <johnnyboytmm@juno.com>]

Well yeah, that's how I've played it, but not what the rules 
(conveniently posted by Lloyd) actually say.

----To initiate HTH combat, a figure moves onto the enemy figure's hex. 
If the attacking figure is disengaged, this is a regular move. If the 
attacking figure is engaged, he may shift onto a figure engaging him to 
attempt HTH, even if he is engaged with other figures as well. When 
you're surrounded by foes, sometimes the best thing you can do is jump 
on one of them!-----


That clearly indicates that you shift ONTO an opponent to initiate HTH, 
and shift is a movement.  Further there is also the bit that the 
defense roll takes place during movement, which it cannot if the 
initiation attempt (the shift) does not.  I think I've been doing this 
wrong all along.

I believe I will need to consult my books and make a table or two until 
I resolve this to my satisfaction.  Once I do I will report back.

I didn't read the rules as allowing entering HTH during the 1-hex shift
allowed to an engaged figure. A figure can shift to a legal unoccupied
Shift hex, and then initiate HTH as an action, but not just shift onto
enemies and initiate HTH then!
