Victoria Rules
There's a reason I prefer rules-light. This thread is a perfect example of it: with rules-heavy, as we're seeing here, the game has to give way to the rules rather than the rules giving way to the game. Once they engage there's no problem, but all these other rules seem to be just getting in the way of starting the battle.
Another way to bypass the problem: have gladiatorial combats start with the combatants touching the tips of their weapons to each other in salute. That way they're already in melee range when the dice start flying.
