Who's up for dog sled meat

Own a mortar battery for home defense, since that's what Randy Random intended. A group of tribesmen are planning to attack. "What the devil?" As I grab my most useless colonists and load a HE shell. Land a direct impact onto the first man, he's dead on the spot. Fire a second round on the hoard, miss them entirely because it's a mortar and nail a wild timber wolf. I have to resort to the antigrain grain warhead I traded for a handfull of spears, "Tally ho lads" the explosion decimates the group in the blast, the crater and fire ruin the natural forest. Load incindiary and fire at the last terrified rapscallion. He burns to death trying to crawl away since its impossible to escape the flames that surround him. Just as Randy Random intended.

Seriously though, mortars are very fun for defence! They only failed me about 60% of the time and were so satisfing the other 40%!
