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.
