Just make sure that you are flipping the template "sharply." I've seen a lot
of weird things happen with drop pods; Everything from the clump you described
to one instance where the couters seemed to catch on on edge of the template
and the ended up scattering into a long line. (This line crossed two
Ork buildings. Urk!!!)
The most uncertain thing about drop pods seems to be where key units will
end up. Will the HQ land in the middle of the clump where he can control
things, or will he end up way over on the far edge of the clump? Will
my librarian be the one counter that winds up 10cm from the enemy and
thus get snap-fired to death? I always get a tad nervous when I'm about
to drop my pods.
