In a combat, a group can be organized into a front line and a back
line. This is generally a good idea, as weak types like mages and
necromancers can then cower in the back and not risk getting hit by
melee attacks. The maneuver command is used to control your position
in the group, front or back. You can "maneuver up" or "maneuver back".
The group leader, out of combat, can move group members around
with "maneuver splork up" and "maneuver splork back". Anybody can
see the current formation with the "group" command.

Anyone on point is automatically in the front line. The group leader
defaults to the front line, and everybody else defaults to the back,
but they can move around as they like.

The front line has to be at least a certain size, depending on
the size of the group. It must have 1 person plus 1 per 3 group
members (so a group of 1 - 2 needs 1 front line, a group of 3 - 5
needs 2, etc.) If the front line falls below this number, the group
is in serious danger of collapsing into a chaotic mess each round.
If you start seeing warnings that this is about to happen, you should
either get out of there, or step up to the front line, depending on how
loyal you feel to the other group members - nobody wins when the front
line collapses. Well, technically the mobs win.
