Er, that'd be 3 seperate rolls to attack vs three seperate d8 defense
rolls, as sequential attacks (as a result of Command Actions); on the
average, with the dice as given, the attackers will inflict /many/ more
casualties than they would had they not all attacked together (because
the
target squad will have skittered away with all speed as quickly as they
could, perhaps removing the opportunity for second and third squads to
fire).
