Also use the formation editor in the middle of combats if you see your caster types getting exposed to melee. You can move them out of harm's way by swapping them with a better equipped character.
Yes, change the formation in the middle of the fight.

When monsters with extended reach come up to you, they will first come in extended reach, so if your characters don't have extended reach, they can't attack with melee. If you then move forward, so that all character should be able to hit the monsters, everyone will be exposed to attacks, except those in the back (if you have people covering the middle and front). This is why I always like to have my fighting types use extended weapons only, but also because they don't have to use the walk button as much when fighting in melee.
