I got this idea off someone else on this board, and it seems to work pretty well. Change your party formation as follows: Take everyone out of the front rank. Leave it empty. Put your casters in the rear, and everyone else in the middle and on the flanks. Doing this seems to give your party 2 "extra" melee-range slots. Maybe it's just my weapons config, but it works for me!
