I don't understand why you couldn't amass dice. You have to roll Beam
dice, EMP dice, PTorps, Grasers, missiles and submunitions all separate
from each other--but you do anyway. 
Note that I'm NOT saying to roll a B3 as three dice, then roll a B2 as
two dice--I'm saying roll all the beam dice at once, then do all the
rerolls, then all the rererolls.
