Re: Bulldozing - allowed?

Seems like the refs are still using personal interpretation regardless of the written response in Q&A
As Wayne responded -
Here is the 'official' answer as found in the FIRST Q&A:

"HERDING" implies that you are attempting to direct multiple Game Pieces to a particular location. Merely driving into an area occupied by multiple Game Pieces in an attempt to clear the area and letting them randomly scatter would not be considered herding.

Clearly, knocking down the tubes leaning against the wall is attempting to direct them - the particular area is the opponents home zone. Granted the exactness of location is not important to them.

My advice would be - If they want to employ this perfectly legal strategy without penalty, simply move one at a time - or incurr the penalty.
