Tactical Question: Disengage

[Skarg]

I've seen what seems like at least eight discussions on this forum just about the "at the moment its turn to move comes" wording.

I'm tired of arguing about it, and simply refuse to play that way unless it's an experiment to experience how awful the gameplay is when you play that way.

I encourage people who prefer that wording to playtest with that enforced, and see how awful it is. I've tried it. I hate it.

Previews:

* "Ok, remember what each figure's engagement status was when its time to move comes. Later engagement status will be irrelevant for option selection until next turn."

* "These two warriors just engaged each other this turn, but the one that moved to engage can't Defend because Defend isn't listed as a disengaged option. But the other one can because he moved second so he started his movement phase engaged."

* "Bob was engaged from behind at the start of his movement, but his foe then moved away. But Bob can't Dodge, because he was engaged at the start of his movement phase."

* "Can I use option (o) and attempt HTH as an action? Only if I was engaged with someone, anyone, not necessarily my target, when my turn to move came - not now."

Why?
