Is atom-smashing still possible in the latest version .03?
I ask because when i lower my raised bridges they only launch the creatures around like projectiles, same effect if i raise them from their lowered state, here is a picture of it:

and here is the caught goblins & humans:

Ohh and some advice how to deal with caught goblins & humans would be appreciated!

I'm not sure why yours isn't working but I can tell you that atom smashing does indeed still work in .03

I currently use it in my fortress.

[Tsuko]

Well i was thinking MAYBE because of the ground and walls are made out of white sand?

So instaid of being smashed they just sink into the sand or something?

[Julius Clonkus]

It seems like they are retracting bridges and not drawbridges.

Use area reclaim (d,b,r) and dump (d,b,d) to strip them of their gear.  Then release them near soldiers.

Thx guys, i made one bridge at start that seemed to work (smashed a elven iliason once)
but i didn't have the channel so i destroyed it, channeled the ground and then i guess i just speed pressed  the key for bridge without setting the raising direction or something i'm gonna test it.

Ok here goes nothing!

[Tsuko]

Hehe it works!!

Now for the goblins... I noticed that my randomly armored dwarves COULD kill goblins so i guess it is all about the armor now baby!

Yeah, for caged goblins and the like, I put them in a zoo until it's training time.  Releasing them a few at a time to a group of ten (or a few groups) usually results in little damage to the dwarfs.
