  My rules say that in movement or no, you
can move thru a friendly figure at a cost
of 1 MP.  If you end in a hex with a 
friendly figure the hex is crowded & both
figures are at -2 DX.

  I would allow A to take the disengage option
and craw back one hex.  He would not be able 
to crawl forward and engage the enemy in HTH,
(tho he could crawl forward and join a HTH 
pile that already exists).

  I let multihex figures squeeze thru spaces
too narrow for them to walk in, just as I allow
people to crawl thru small holes.  Movement is
limited to 1 hex per turn and they are at a 
MINIMUM penalty of -2 DX for being in a crowded
hex.
