The range at which you might potentially get wounds, if the targets are
all standing up and it's your lucky day, is a good deal longer than the
lethal radius, yes. Most fragments slow down pretty fast, but there are
always a few which go a long way. However, the probability of actually
inflicting wounds at longer ranges is rather too small for the FMA
opposed die-roll system to model.

As John Atkinson said, if you want a template-effect grenade - get a
mortar. OK, something like a Carl Gustaf or RPG-7 works too if you've
brought the right type of ammo - but smaller than that, the area of
effect is no bigger than a single model's base.

So allow them to hit *3* adjacent figures instead of 2. That pretty
much covers the difference between the types.
