Default Re: Multiple attacks / multiple targets on the same turn? Any penalties?

I think there ought to be a -1 to reach if attacking in the opposite direction of the hand you're wielding the weapon in, (ie attacking enemy in left hex using a right-handed weapon, attacking enemy in right hex using left-handed weapon) because your hand is at best at your shoulder level, you're basically using up the wielding arm's reach to get your hand to your opposite shoulder.
Note that the three hexes to your Front are ALL Front Hexes. The three hexes behind you are your Left, Right, and Back hexes. Normally, you cannot attack to your side hexes without making a Wild Swing(-5 to hit, Skill capped at 9), though Peripheral Vision allows you to make one-handed attacks to the respective side of the weapon you are using, or both sides if you have a two-handed weapon. To avoid the wild swing penalty if you don't have Peripheral Vision, you would need to use a step or movement to change your facing or position.
