I laid it out and I still think it can't be done.  If he stays one hex away
from H, then he can't do it in 5 hexes! 

As you can see on Turn #4 Dwarr is Engaged. And as on Advanced Melee, p. 4,
"A figure MUST STOP ITS MOVEMENT for the turn when it becomes "engaged" -
see below, under FACING."

Therefore, Dwarr cannot move behind Homan in one turn!

Please let us know what you find - I dont find any reason to credit this as
true.
