Mike,

Somehow, I think that an 18 dice attack by one squadron is a 
bit much.

     How 'bout this:

1)     One sub-pack carried by a squadron.
2)     Cost is as one sub pack.
3)     Attack is 3D6, as a sub-pack.   An additional limitation
       that the attack cannot score more damage the craft remaining
       in the squadron when the attack is executed.
