shifting while engaged to multiple enemies
If you have a unit engaged with two different enemies at the same time, what happens when you want to shift around one enemy, but that would disengage you from the other enemy? Is that allowed, or are you stuck between the two enemies?

Re: shifting while engaged to multiple enemies
You may shift "IF" it does not disengage you from anyone you are engaged by.
If you want to shift and it will disengage you from anyone engaging you, choose the 'Disengage' option.

Re: shifting while engaged to multiple enemies
A multi-hex figure can simply shift away from all the little people that are engaging it. (ITL 103) So wait for the munchkins to move then shift away to apply dragon breath or one-handed pikeaxe jabs.

Nothing under the various SHIFT descriptions puts limitations on how you shift (ie, it doesn't say shifting can't disengage). I think the wording under DISENGAGING does imply your only option is disengaging, rather than shifting.

In which of your posts was Melee mentioned?
I missed it.

Re: shifting while engaged to multiple enemies
The last sentence of the original post has the gist of it; unless you can disengage, you are effectively stuck between your opponents. Your position on the map might change, but you'll still be stuck between them.
