No, not really too much dice rolling.

If you get 5 potential hits on a squad, you roll 5 times. I now have, I
think,
12 of each type of dice for SG2 just to make dice rolling easier.
Rolling 5 of
one type isn't much more time consuming than rolling 3 or 4. If the
probabilities come out better, then I'd say go for it.
