Please note that I'm a TFT neophyte. I have, however, been playing miniatures for 30 years. That said, whatever you decide, keep it simple.

I watched the multi-combatant video on FB and liked the way it worked. I'm not too hung up on "realism" as these are fantasy games after all. But I liked the way the mechanics forced the opponents to consider their movement during play. It made them (or allowed them) to change tactics based on, what was essentially, changing terrain.

One of the driving game design elements that determines replay value of any game is the number and consequence of decisions players have to make. The very simple rule, as it stands, increases the replay value of any given scenario in a easy to to understand, easy to apply, and credible way.

In other words; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
