Not at all.  The attacker can still go HtH if the defender is 
backed up against a wall, prone, surrounded (no use spinning then) 
or when the other side wins the dice-off for initiative and makes 
the defender move first, thus "locking in" his non-engaging hexes.

This seems to work well for animals--they try to knock the 
defender prone, then go in for HtH.

We do HtH attempts as an action in my game and there's been no 
great shortage of HtH combat.  (And hardly any of it between the
players themselves!)
