Do you allow people to Defend regardless of their Engagement status? If not, do you require them to base it on their engagement status at the start of their movement, regardless of current status (i.e. A is disengaged, moves 1, then gets engaged, but not allowed to defend?)?

Do you allow Defend after 1/2 MA, or only after 0 or 1 hex movement?

Yes, I allow people to defend on any turn they moved 1/2 MA or less and are subject to a melee attack that entered through one of their front hexes. I would be open to the argument that you should also limit movement to 1 hex, but my starting position is that defending shouldn't be more restricted than attacking, and you can move 1/2 MA and attack so...
