As I wrote, it's how we always played, and we mainly used (and in some cases continue to use) Advanced Melee. I'm not very happy with a great many wording details of the basic-Melee-based Legacy version of the options list, including that one.

In Advanced Melee, the option was to move half MA or less, and attempt to initiate HTH. You can do it during movement if you can do it without getting engaged. Otherwise your action would be to try to get them in HTH.

I don't particularly mind the idea of also allowing an attack, but it seems off to me, and I think it adds some complications that seem strange to me.
