Am i insane??? i can think of you inital reactions.... they go along the lines of BURN HIM!!! BURN THE HERITIC!!! but hear me out....
Iv alwayesed like a smallish game called Battle Relmes. Itw as cool (not as cool as TA, but we cant expect miricals right?) But see the cool thing was that melle wasent just a unit hits, other unit hit, unit hits, other uinit hits that became standared in RTS and TA avoided by having ranged only. However in Battle relmes the combat is fluid and fast. Units parry, dodge and do DIFFERENT ATTACKS! It looks like a REAL battle with REALY guys useing REAL (If slightly exaggerated and anime like) swords. So what if in TA the grunt units like Pewee's and AK's could remain usefull through out the game.
Example. A Pewee squad of five see a squad of Eight AK's. Normaly the Pewee's would be sunk in this fight, cause they are out numbered. However they could go melle and we all know that the ARM are better at Melle then the CORE (because they are used to urban and gurrilla fighting from their rebbelion and all) So the Pewee's hide behind a rock and pounce when the AK's walk by. The AK's fire a few shots, whitch damage two of the Pewee's but the Pewee's still get to the AK's. The first Pewee smashes into an AK with one of its gun arms and then fires into its cheast at point blank range. The AK toples over and blows up, showering the area with snrapnal. A AK fires a laser through a Pewee's head while Two Pewees knock over a AK and shoot it. The bloody melle ends with three Pewee's dead, all AK's destroyed. Well the SY's can balence it better. the other use of Melle would be realy cool. Grunt units would have the ability called tankbusting. Two of them would climb onto a tank and drop a bomb or grenade into the tanks turret, and then run away. very very fast.
Also when a unit is knocked back they sould have to get back up again
MELLEE???????

I suggest you download the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War demo. It's a fantastic game, with fantastic unit animations/behavior. Watch for the different finishing moves. I think every melee unit has one or more unique finishers for each unit type. 
Oh, and the Orcs have tankbusta grenades as an ability.
