You get 4 gretchin to the Flak wagon. The idea was to use 2 mobs
of abound 6 gretchin each (total cost 140 pts) to cut off the
nearest board edge(s). I wanted to use this to try to funnel the
flyers into a more predictable approach run, where I could put
regular Flak. This would allow me to concentrate my Flak Wagons
more effectively (in theory anyway... :). None of this has seen
any application, so it may be impractical.
