I found a nice way to deal with squat large guns... I simply used the not
so trusty shokk attack gun... and if the snotlings get close enough and get
close combat.. they usually win as large artillery has a very low HTH close
combat score. worked great in my last battle. whats cool is the shokk
attacks unlimited range.
