And I'd have to reiterate what I said above. After all, that means that
one pod (the top one) is going to be firing its retros *into* another
pod. These things are hardly indestructable; I'd say the one on the
bottom dies. If there are any rules in the Hive War supplement on this
matter, they should probably take precedence.

Oh, one side note: if two counters land on top of each other *and* on
ttop of a Titan, then both should hit the Titan. After all, the reason
they inflict a hit on the Titan is because they hit *before* the retros
fire, so the two pods just nail the thing.
