I'd like to ask you guys how do you handle melee situation exactly.
Page 104 of the Hub Rules states :
" For example, as part of a much larger battle scene, if four human excavators engage 12 skullocks in a melee, each human faces off against 3 skullocks in a sort of mini-battle of his own. Assign odd numbered opponents randomly.
When it comes time for the defenders to make their strike rolls, the same number of surviving skullocks would then attack their assigned excavator. This process is repeated until one side in the mini-scrap is slain."
Does this mean that players can not help each other in melee combat until one "mini scrap" is resolved? They can make a fighting withdrawal or run away, as stated some pages after that one, but moving in another melee fight is a bit different I think.
My PCs always move to help weaker teammates, even if this means turning their backs to the enemy. The standard formation they use is a "square" with every side 3m long. This way they can enter in a near mini-scrap and make one melee attack in one round .
Battle Example ( LOL)
<---3m--- 
(lemme help you buddy!)
What do you think guys? Shouldn't there be a turn/SV/DV penalty for this maneuver? (maybe I missed something in the rub rules!)
