After reading close combat section. Melee weapons with a range of Arm's Length are only usable in Arm's Length. However weapons with the range of Near is not so clear. Their is no clear definition on them being only usable at Near range, and their is no clear definition that thy can be used at Near or Arm's Length. From my personal experience using a variety of weapons. I would rule that weapons with the Near range can be used at Near or Arm's Length. However this my not be what you want in the game for a variety of reasons.  

Page 92: Weapon Features states "RANGE indicates the maximum range at which the weapon can be used". So a Longspear for example can be used at Arm's Length or Near distance. A tactical advantage, at least during the first turn of combat.

Thanks I must have missed that when I read it.
