This would also benifit slow, strong types with fewer action points.  If
you could retreat from short and medium to get into optimal range for
your weapon, you would like to stay there.  As it stands now, you would
need to retreat always, well, you could dodge part of the time but this
may not be good for your character to dodge at short when you have a maul
as your weapon.  IF you could dodge when at long instead of retreating
you would save much needed action points by not having to close into long
range again.  This just seems a natural way to defend.  Would allow for
more tinkering with your stratagys which can be fun, if it works that
is.:)
