If fighting in formation, then being on the offensive/defensive is decided by side rather than individually. If fighting out of formation, then a fight with several combatants is just treated as a series of individual fights. In the case of multiple combatants fighting a single opponent at the same time, then the multiple combatants on the same side will:a) all be on the defensive.b) all be on the offensive.c) be a combintation of on the offensive and not attacking.It won't be possible for the multiple combatants to be a mix of 'on the offensive' and 'on the defensive' (under normal circumstances--risky maneuvers can change this). Also, if multiple combatants and a single opponent both want to take the initiative, then the multiple combatants will have a bonus in getting it, or getting it back (there are various maneuvers you can attempt in order to 'steal the initiative' from an opponent on the offensive; multiple, bigger and more skilled opponents will get a bonus on these maneuvers).</blockquote>
