Right, they fire every other turn. However a small troop with three level 3 Cluster bombs delivers 270 points of damage every other turn and should kill 9 militia with that firepower. I did not see anywhere near that many militia killed in either of my recent battles. I did fight a battle where my 36 troops (armed as above) killed 67 militia while losing 24. That is better than 2:1 kills. Since my earlier kill ratio was 1:1 it appears the odds in combat make a difference. It is very disappointing that this is not even discussed in the manual.
What do you recommend for troop weapons if not Cluster Bombs? I don't see anything else that will give small troops an average of 135 points per combat turn.
Thanks,

Those bombs don't fire every round, the militia does. Also, if you pack all bombs onto the troops the militia will slaughter them.
