In your face enemies perked

Spears = ranged weapons. Range = 2. Next question.

That depends whether or not they're always treated as ranged/thrown weapons. If so, IYF will work against them only if the person with the perk is exactly next to the one with spear.
If they're treated as melee however, IYF will work starting from the 2nd square.

It might be possible that the game can tell the difference between the weapon mode (f.ex thurst/throw) and is changing the weapon type depending on what atk type you currently have chosen.

If it was the case then sledgehammer would miss a person with IYF from 2 hexes half of the time. And that isn't happening (tested few posts above)

PS. Henry would you mind answering private messages?

That's...unusual....but not unexpected, the mechanics of the perk has been bugged for ages (not working against bursts, etc.).

I'll check the sledgehammer later on just to make sure.
