This is something we discussed last weekend, as well. It struck me there
is nothing within the rules, that we could find, to stop a player to
declaring a close assault from half a table away, to break an already
shaken defender. 

Now, the umpire should clobber this munchkin senseless, of course... But
I
couldn't find anything that said the target HAS to be reachable?

Yes, but according to the rules as we read them, the overrun happens
immediately after the test, i.e. before the attacker moved at all.
Suddenly overrun became an underrun ;) Anyway, the suggestions I've
yesterday clear up the problem, I think.
