You've got As shooting at Bs, where I had Bs shooting at As, so
this comment fits into your example, not mine.
What if A1 can hit all the other Bs, and you get three hits?
B1 can get hit, certainly, being in range of all As. One of the
back Bs can be hit, since A1 is in range. What about hitting a
third B? They are all in range of A1. What if there were a lot
more As, all in range of B1, but still only one (A1) can reach
all Bs? And we get 8 hits. The rules would still allow all hits
to be applied.

Your suggestion fits with the rule, but you assumed all the Bs
were out of range of all the As, which wasn't the case I asked
about.
