[1] It's actually more complicated than that, because if your first hit killed the unit you're not really at +2 for the second attack because your new target doesn't have the penalty. On the other hand, if you're swarming a large enemy 3:1, the third guy will have a net effective +5/+7 to hit (+10/+10 -5 for weapon length) vs. +4 if everybody was using only a single sword.
