Yes, except that the second use of Doppelganger does not double the first. It's an extra YOU, not an extra you-plus-everyone-else. So if you have two Doppelgangers, you triple your combat strength.

(This is not supported on the card, which did not anticipate the situation of multiple uses of Doppelganger, but I will make sure to get the FAQ updated with this ruling, because it's the one we're going with.)

Whenever a Munchkin card or rule talks about "fighting alone," it means no other player has joined your fight. It doesn't mean you can't have Hirelings or Steeds or, in this case, a Doppelganger.
