More Bombshell Trouble

Here, because I forgot to advance my snipe turn 7, he could put a bs in the center. That turn itself made my loss, because a set BS in that kind of configuration is unbeatable. I did make mistakes, but I was forced to, because I had NO space where to put units without having them splashee. Same happened against terence, which explains my rank decrease this week. Yes he is also stronger than me, but in one of our current game I managed to put an early bombshell at the center and now I have the map control and he can't do anything against it. No one can disagree with this, something has to be done.

I wish I'd thought of using the term "map control" a long time ago.

BS can easily control large sections of the maps it's deployed on, even if it can only splash. Think of it this way: A Bombshell can attack 60 spaces around it. SIXTY. That's more than a quarter of most maps.

I won't say BS is unbeatable, because it's not, but being able to attack 60 spaces for at least 1 damage is ridiculous. It should only be able to hit what it can see IMHO. I even think removing its pseudovision (showing what it can splash in the FOW) would be a great start.
