[Rules] Multiple Assaults in one hex

[Juiceman]

Interesting topic and premise, would think that the probability of gaining a positive result on the Assault Table would be increased with one combined assault than with 3 smaller assaults, would depend on the tactical situation and column shifts.
 
In the example you have 3 Japanese Infantry platoons, 4-3, and you attack on the assault table one at a time, 4 combat strength would be a 3 on the table, -1 say for terrain (jungle), +3 for higher morale, leader (no combat modifier) and being Japanese Infantry puts you on the 9 column, you have a higher probability of having a No Effect dice result for each assault (roll of 7 or 8).
 
But if you combined into one large assault, you would be on the 18 column (assume the same criteria as above) you would be guaranteed a result even if it is a M result and have a higher probability of rolling a step loss (dice roll of 2-3-4-10-11-12 opposed to 2-3-12).
 
Depends on if you want to roll three times, hoping to get one or more good dice rolls or play it safe with one roll.  Could see in certain circumstances where this tactic could be beneficial to the attacker.
