The general many‐on‐one stochastic duel conditioned on the order in which targets are attacked is investigated, and the state probabilities are derived for the first time. The results are illustrated by an example of a three‐on‐one stochastic duel with negative exponential interfiring times. Some aspects of the tradeoff between individual firepower and the nominal size of a force are investigated.
