Hey, waittaminnit!

those design notes include this. . .

Yes...a figure engaged with several enemy can enter HTH combat with one of them. The others still get a chance to strike before the single figure moves IF their DX is higher, since the move-and-attack-HTH action comes in the regular attack sequence.


Which puts to bed the whole "Can you start HTH during the movement phase?" question.  It seems the SJ answer is NO.

Like yesterday, I did a Google Docs version of an article from The Space
Gamer. This time it's "Melee: New Weapons".

The article indeed presents six weapons not in the initial (1977) Melee
release, explains "Shield Rush" and "Dagger Marksmanship", and introduces a
monster: the Octopus.

He discusses in the intro the trade-offs he made between realism and
playability, and clarifies some details about HTH and other things. I don't
think anything is new with respect to the discussions in this group, but at
least you can read it for yourself:
