By way of providing some background info, my character caused this discussion.
He attacked and rolled an 18, resulting in his weapon breaking. In his next turn during the Movement Phase, he was still engaged and chose option (m). See page 103 in ITL rules. A figure which is engaged with an enemy (in italics next) "when its turn comes to move" may perform any one of the following options. I chose option (m) CHANGE WEAPONS. which is to stand still or shift AND ready a new weapon.
The GM argued that the shift or stand still constituted the Movement Phase and that readying the new weapon constituted an Action option, so that I could not attack during the same turn.
I maintain that shift or stand still AND ready a new weapon are all part of the Movement Phase, as described in option (m), and that I should be permitted to attack during the Action Phase.
We eagerly await your collected learned opinions.
