Sorry -- that's the only way to increase your short-range melee fighter numbers. It allows them to fight to the front only if they are in the center. If they are on the sides, they can fight to the front and to their side.

If you aren't going to use any polearms at all, I'd advise putting your spellcasters in the rear, at least one person in the center rank to block off easy access to your spellcasters but knowing he'll only be able to strike to the front, and the rest in the flanks so they can strike to the front and to their side (you can have up to 3 in each slot).

Of course, I'd also recommend having at least one person with polearms that you can put in that center rank. That allows them to do extended to the front and short to the sides and back.
