Pardon, I was unclear. The goliath is a mega-cannon. At the time I
wrote this I thought that a sloppy comparison could be made between
mega-cannon and a hvy. barrage that fires every turn (or a pair of hvy.
barrages). It was a hurried analogy, nothing more. The points cost for
the goliath in the current revision is 60 points (I think), and I did
not feel that this adequately represented the true effect of it's
firepower. Two siege artillery units, for example, cost 108 points.
More discussion has ensued, and the general concensus seems to be that
the value of a goliath should be placed at about 100 points, give or
take.

Clear as mud? Good.
