Of course you can. Colossi are *always* on FF orders. ^_^

Yeesh, Bayani, get over it....

And the fact that I took an Overlord helped less than you might think.
The Overlord did pop most of his Sentinels, but was singularly
uneffective against the guys in buildings -- 7+ shots, again.

Er, no, I only re-roll once. It's usually enough, though. And your
Ogryns certainly got stuck in fast enough... they just died, taking some
berserkers and/or warriors with them. ^_^

> 3. It was late, it was my second game, and both of our brains were fried.

Quite true. If I'd been thinking, I'd have charged out the Thunderers
three turns before (at least!) to take the objective. Instead, I got
stuck thinking, "They're Thunderers, they don't charge, they shoot," and
accomplishing nothing. <shrug>
