Should be "Banzai jammers" - I suspect that the missiles will ignore
small potted trees <g> (I've eaten ginger jam though, so it might be
possible to get bonzai jam as well ;-)

To which I say:

** Hmm. I have my doubts Oerjan. Those salvo missiles are dumb enough to
A)
not all hit when they come out of the pack (your roll a die) and B) target the
nearest object regardless of how useful that might be. <g>

** And I think it'd be Bonsai Jammers. Maybe they are a bunch of guys really
in tune with Salvo Missiles such that they can affect their growth....

I tell you, the first time someone talked about "banzai jammers" but used the
acroynym "bj"... well, I almost spewed Diet Coke all over my monitor. That is
NOT what came to mind when I saw that acronym. But I'm a sick puppy...

What can I say? If you drink *Diet* Coke, you deserve whatever Fate has
to hand out ,-)
