Default Re: Defending while disengaging?

Drives me crazy that I can never find this in the rules when I go to look it up, but isn't there something about a +1 adjDX for waiting a turn to make an attack, up to a limit of 2 turns? I think that might be the thing that can be combined with the Defend option, but I'm not sure. Incidentally, it's not under Aimed Shots or Delayed Actions, although such a rule sounds like it would be logically under those sections.

Of course no sooner than I posted the above, I located it. It's the very last thing in the very long section headed "Special Situations", falling on p 127 of ITL:

Quote:
Waiting for an Opening – An Optional Rule
A fighter may spend up to two turns “waiting for an
opening” to make a regular or “aimed shot” attack. He may
not move, dodge, attack, disbelieve, etc., while waiting for
an opening, though he may defend against the figure he is
going to attack
. He gets +1 DX if he waits for one turn, +2 if
he waits for two.
The emphasis is mine. This may be the only situation where defend may be combined with anything else.
