For SJ, where's the Move and Defend and option?

"You and your buddy have surrounded the troll, Buddy's is in the troll's front hex, you're in the troll's rear hex. Troll has initiative and makes your side move first. You and Buddy stay put! You've got the troll surrounded! But now troll spins around to face you. Since you weren't engaged when it was your time to move, you couldn't select option"

I don't see it that way. Yes, engagement status affects the move portion of your turn but it can also affect the action portion too.

In the example above, you're in the Trolls rear hex and therefore unengaged and you choose not to move. In the Troll's movement phase it spins round so it's now in your front hexes and you are engaged.

In your action phase you can select Defend since you are now engaged.

I don't see a probalem with that. Engagement is dynamic and changes during both movement and action phases of a turn.
