Do chompas hit all units in a stack or just the "top" two squads? If they hit all units is it worth getting 4 chompas and a distractor to pound those campers into a pulp? Or are gnome gliders the best special weapon?

From what i've read gliders hit 1 squad and chompas hit more than 1 squad. Im not sure if there all stood on the same spot it will just hit the top 1 or not.

I was playing a game earlier where I had everyone piled on top of each other as my regular strategy. Somebody used four or five Chompas and got every single one of the units down to half-health. I got owned.

 

 

 

So yes, they affect every unit in a stack.

I've only played 1 game so I wasn't sure.

 

 

 

Seems chompas are the best then.

:shame: cannons are cheaper and do more damage to deathdots

How the hell do you use them? just place them facing the correct direction right next to the enemy squad? cos I placed mine a few squares away and sweet F.A happend.

cannons are better, they will hit 60-70, chompas hit 40-60

 

 

 

jsut select where you want it, the arrow points the direction you want it to go, and place it right next to squads you want to hit, they hit about 5 squad squares into that direction

I use chinchompas because I can't position my troops to use cannon properly :o They take a little while to activate, and you can place them in the same "square", the graphics will just place them in certain areas within that square. It damages all units in the same sense a regular chinchompa would.

Cannons are nearly instant. They give almost no time to maneuver units out (At least not with the laggy controls -.- )

 

 

 

I've managed to move 3-4 squads out of the way when a chin strikes. It's just too much of a delay.

 

 

 

In general, 3-4 cannons with the remainder as distraction is the best combination.
