Actually it is still really good (yeah, I know, you didn't want any
replies about nuke, but you might be doing it wrong).

Remember that it's 3d12 x 1d6 locations. So in fairness if you are using
it on scrubs (and your marshal is using hit points for them instead of
wounds) then if you roll middle of the road average thats:

6+7+6 x 4 = 76 HP of damage. That'll fry anyone caught in the blast. Let's
be fair, the doomie is burning 5 strain and sticking his head out for two
actions to do this thing. Although with sleaved cards that's not a big
deal. Maybe it should be 3 actions or a round...
