Summary	0001013: Multiple Unit Combat Not Behaving As Intended
Description	How it should work: A unit can only fight 3 units simultaneously, any units past the first 3 form a circle around the combat, and when a follower dies, quickly join in to replace the fallen unit. Meaning the unit in question should always be in combat with 3 men at any one time. How it currently works: All 3 units must die before new units join in, so instead of the unit being in simultaneous combat with 3 units at all times, he is in combat with 3, 2, 1 then another 3. Why is this an issue? It is believed in the community (despite HP being pseudorandom) that a warrior can always only manage to kill 6 braves. This bug in particular is allowing warriors to stretch their HP further, killing 7,8,9 even 10 braves before dying, because he's losing a lot less health when he's not fighting 3 men. This means the warrior is currently way more powerful than expected, and currently believed to be two powerful
Steps To Reproduce	- Train a Warrior - Send Warrior into combat with 7 Braves
