Hadron Goblin Supercollider

Supercollider? How about GAP Cannon?

GAP - Goblin Accelerator Pulse

Use the same concept, immediate action rules aside, and instead line up a long tunnel pointing out of a cliff face and fire goblins across the sea at the speed of sound. Load each one with an alchemical bomb and you could annihilate your enemies across the sea. You could even have a rapid fire by lining up goblins in a tunnel at a right angle to the GAP and have them move into it at a rate of 6 per round. As soon as they enter they could begin the acceleration pulse process.

Imagine the chaos on the shores of your local favorite sea port as goblins come screaming through the air and exploding upon impact in balls of fire, cold, lighting, acid, and poison.

Why waste alchemical bombs? Why not just let the Goblins work alone. this way, you can only win:
1) You spend all the Goblins on your side to conquer the other side. THe remaining goblins can be mopped up with regular troops and the alchemical stuff you still have.
2) The Goblins all die horrible death, but at least weaken the enemy forces. Regular troops aided with alchemical bombs mop the rest up.

Your scenario has:
1) Goblins conquering the other side and defending it from you with alchemical bombs.
2) Enemy defeating the Goblins and your troops having to fight them without alchemical firebomb support.

Seriously, for world domination plans, I have seen better.

It's already been shown definitively that the goblin tactics won't get you what you want. But that doesn't mean you cannot accelerate two goblins to near light speeds and then collide them.

The revised proposal for the Goblin Supercollider looks like this: you have a couple mile long row of githyanki, each of whom readies an action to use their racial power to fly the goblin 5 squares, into the range of the next githyanki's racial power. This both accelerates the goblin quicker and saves on personnel costs, as you only need 20% the staff of the original proposal, and no weapon costs.

The goblin has to consider the gith his ally, and vice versa. But this just means that the githyanki never explained the entirety of the experiment to the goblin. ("We're going to see how fast we can get Mugwump to fly. You'll be perfectly safe and sound at the end.")

That might work!
