Turn 50

I've seen that replay and that move cost him the game. Point in case, no good player will allow that to happen for the very reason seen in this game. That was around when the new rule came out so p1noyboypj must not have adapted at that point. What necrocat and I were saying earlier is that it is much easier to predict and avoid letting 5 units die to one bombshell shot (in fact that didn't even occur in that replay) then it is to avoid getting hit and run by a mobi player. Hit and run was almost never cost efficient before (as Alvendor has also stated) but now it is usually wit neutral and puts the mobi user ahead on unit count. The extra wits from bombshell splash by contrast does not come into play as often because you don't usually kill more than 2 units with one bombshell shot. This does make the shell a bit better as I did say previously, but not as drastically as the mobi buff which makes EVERY hit and run tactic more effective. As necrocat stated it is also harder to avoid getting hit and run than it is to not let 3 of your guys get killed by a bombshell shot.
