When you initiate HTH and if you roll a 1,2,3,4 you succeed in moving onto your foe's hex (often during actions phase but either way). And in the same turn during actions you are allowed to attack your foe: Hopefully you had a dagger in hand when you initiated HTH or bare handed.
What if you roll a 5 or 6. You got rejected from HTH. Do you still get to attack during actions. If you had a dagger out then with that. If any other weapon then you dropped it before your failed HTH engagement. So, do you get to do a punch or dagger stab in that same action phase from 1 hex range?

Clearly not if HTH was attempted as an action.
But if your HTH attempt was during the Movement phase, then I think it's not clearly defined in the rules. It seems to me that attempting HTH during movement, and failing, should probably count as the figure's entire action. A deciding point for me about that is that if the figure is allowed to take another action after failing to get into HTH during Movement, is that then they could also use their Action to attempt HTH, which to me would excessive, especially if they have higher adjDX.
