Mob attacks

Probably the most terrifying situation (excluding your personal phobias) to find yourself in would be facing a mob attack. No matter how skilled you are, you're likely to be overwhelmed by a mass of less-skilled people just basically swamping your defences. Classic cases are a swarm of zombies breaking into where you are, terrified refugees trying to get onto your helicopter when the gunfire starts at the back of the crowd, or a crowd of prisoners trying a mass breakout against a smaller number of guards.

But the GURPS rules for swarm attacks are just for small threats (rats etc.), and the rules about how many attackers can grapple one person at a time don't cover that situation.

How do you handle it?
