Description

This fast-moving suicide unit is very good against massed units, particularly assault tanks. It features a cloaking device which is automatically activated once the unit stands still, effectively turning it into a mine. Chain explodes terribly, so best not to mass it. Counter with Pickets, Fencers, or single cheap units to set off a premature detonation.
