Hi there, I'll do my best.

All the fire from a fire group against a target hex is resolved by one dice roll, the results of which are applied to all units in the target hex. In your example, all 10 firepower points are totalled together for one attack.

One dice roll for all units.

Smoke is laid first, so it affects all fire through during the Prep Fire phase. Smoke can only be laid in the Prep Fire phase.

Yes, it is.
