Triplanetary Combat Question

I think that all targets must suffer the damage rolled on the CRT. Otherwise you are penalizing the attacker twice, by taking into account all the targets' defense but then assessing less total damage than if there had been a single target.

Certainly you could write additional rules to jazz this up, but I think all that is called for in the revised edition is the line Iif there are multiple targets, all suffer the rolled result."
