Good point about nigh-immediate re-stampeding. There's all sorts of details to consider with the pig, but I'm willing to put up with it all if I can just have something to eat a few Ortegas when I'm stuck with a Slaughter mission or whatever it's called.
It wasn't Rasputina who murdered my Silurids, but all of the exploding Garmins and the ice elemental guy. I Hexed away the elemental's armor, jumped it with my 3 Silurids, and killed it. But it blew up, hurting the Silurids pretty badly, and also killed a Garmin. Which then also blew up, and took out two Silurid. Juju had already been killed once right away, and was killed a turn later immediately after re-appearing. Which left Zoraida by herself against and untouched Raputina and two more Garmin. That was my first game though, so I know not to get too close to explode-on-death models now. Or at least to jump back with each Silurid after attacking, heh.
And thanks to last night's game, I also know not to choose Perdita for kidnapping schemes, or to choose the rubble special terrain if I ever want Juju to make it into close combat with a team of manaical pistoleros. :ranged
But this is a Gremlin thread, so enough of that. Thanks for all of the porcine insight.
