Diablo 1 / Hellfire Barbarian does not hit three targets at once

Diablo 1 / Hellfire Barbarian does not hit three targets at once - Red and White Dart on Darts Board

I just started replaying Diablo 1 Hellfire, Barbarian class (single player).

One of the innate abilities of the Barbarian class is supposed to be that, when using any kind of axe, he hits monsters in all three squares in front of him with one swing. However, I've been using an axe for a while now (normal difficulty, cathedral level 4) and haven't killed more than one monster with any blow.

Is this a bug? Is there something that I'm missing?
