That's true too... But I guess it needs to be planned into the encounter. For example; one of these days I will have my players ambushed by smallish creatures while in a narrow corridors. They won't be able to fight as well as usual and the one in front and only the ones in front and back will be able to do much.
Presumably, the creatures will also attack from the middle, either borrowing out of just phasing through the walls... I will try to build the encounter around a claustrophobic feeling. A bit like the movies alien and aliens...
