Exactly what counts as 'relatively close' varies by edition, and it also varies significantly by weapon mix and tactics (100 ranged attackers that maintain good separation can actually chew up a 10th level party pretty badly), but my main point is that you can pick up a handful of d20s and roll them all in a batch, counting successes.
