MELEE, 5th edition (revised), lists 'ATTEMPT HTH COMBAT' as
an option for engaged figures ONLY.  If you're more than one
hex away from an opponent, you are by definition DISENGAGED
and so ATTEMPT HTH COMBAT is not a valid option.

MELEE, 5th edition (revised), attempts to address by having
the figure attempting to disengage from HTH roll 1 die.  If
the disengaging figure has a superior DX, it needs a 1,2 or
3 to disengage; if the DX is the same or less, or if there
are more than one enemy in the hex, you need a 1. 

I dont have my Advanced Melee rulebook handy (its at home),
does anyone know what it says regarding this situation?
