I also do it like Skarg and Larsdangly. In that: during movement you can enter a foe's only if you may do so without getting engaged. Otherwise, this is an option during the Action phase.

I differ in one detail: I used to play the "it is an attack" like they did but now I allow the HTH initiator to also attempt a punch or stab during the action phase (whether he/she attempted the HTH during movement or attack phase). I find this matches the description in the rules better and it makes the HTH attempt less of a wasted turn for the initiator.
