Hmm ... that doesn't look right does it. I haven't paid close attention to non-firearm combat. I'll have to get back to you on that one. The rule on p158 does seem to look better.
It does. I've been messing with melee combat in T5 and it now seems clear that the examples in the personal combat chapter are for ranged combat and that melee should be an opposed c+s check.
A difficult task opposing check makes sense and is easy to implement. This neatly solves the problem of multiple opponents in melee, too.
