When a square is hit by a missile there is a roll to see if someone is hit. Basically there is a 10+(2d6) vs. 10+(2d6)+(shield def) roll if the missile hits the square.

Yes, thank you, I remember that. Yet I was under the (obviously: mistaken) impression that this information pertained only to missiles hitting a "square", such with single-square AoE spells. I thought (wrongly??) that arrows were not missiles of this type; that arrows targeted individual units, not squares.
Is what you are saying: Arrows target squares, not units -- and any unit may or may not be hit if present in that square? (I presume: first determine if it "hits" a, b or c if 3 present in square, subsequently do that above-mentioned defense roll.)
Or have I got it all wrong yet again??
sorry and thank you
