letting all this melee in a 10 minute turn

You need to look at the house rules they are using. They cannot melee formed infantry more than once in a turn. The multi-melee rule is just being used so that skirmishers can more easily be swept aside and not halt an advance. It's really no different than playing with the multi-melee off, except that now skirmishers can not be used to effectively halt an advance.

I do not like playing with house rules myself, but I get what they are trying to do with this one. It does lead to more historical play.

I wish the game engine instead had an optional rule that would just allow skirmishers to be attacked more than once in a turn. I think almost everyone would play with that option.
