In my mind, it seems like you should be able to move your figure based upon adjDX (and your engaged/disengaged/HTH status) and then depending upon the length of your move and other facts, be able to execute in adjDX order your "attack"

I know you can change your option but is there any need to verbally declare in the first place?

Actually you move your figures based on which side won initiative (and their MA) so DX has nothing to do with movement order.

But you're right, since you can change what action you take at any time up until you make it I see no reason to declare it. You can just say "I'm moving up to half my MA (or whatever you choose) and then decide what action to take once your turn comes.

Im curious how others see this.
