[Combat Question] When are you considered to be engaged in melee?

[Axly Suregrip]

Full movement (over half) toward your foe has some great tactical uses. Here are some:

- to engage a foe carrying a pole arm that has gone over half MA. Thus preventing him from charging next turn.

- to close the distance with a very high DX archer that is likely to hit you even when you dodge. At full MA, you will give him half as many chances to put arrows in you.

- to engage an archer that shoots twice a turn. This way he will not get his second shot.
