Where did you get that part about the other attacker's get -2 to hit you?
If you make more than one attack per complex action, you get a +2 modifier,
which is cumulative. Other than not being able to spend the same Combat
Pool dice, that's about it.
Now, if they have Friends in Combat, that's where you really get screwed.
You get the +1 per extra opponent, and they get the -1 per extra guy.
