New combat message for Tin Artillery. It's kinda funky.

You throw the NitroX into the midst of your opponents. It engulfs them in a ball of flame, dealing 23 damage.
The ghoul latches onto you and tears a chunk out of you with its teeth, dealing 4 damage.
The ghoul rakes you with its claws for 2 damage.
The ghoul attempts into dig into you with its sharp claws. Its imperfect grip deals 4 damage.

You lob a frag grenade into the midst of your enemies. It explodes, peppering the area with shards of metal, and deals 20 damage.

You fire a microrocket. It homes in on the ghoul and explodes in a brilliant display of light, dealing 26 damage.

You call out for fire support like a child playing at being a crusty old field commander. The fire follows the rock in, falling on the ghoul for 22 damage.

What's this rock now?

Probably a typo for a rocket?

I interpreted it as a poorly worded message about a childish game where you pretended a rock was artillery fire.

But since it followed microrocket, xKiv's makes more sense.

EDIT 26 Dec 2014:
Following 2 rockets is same as following one:

You fire a rocket at the writhing mass. It punches through the mass's defenses, exploding for 24 fire damage.
The writhing mass lashes you with a tentacle, dealing 2 melee damage.

You launch a rocket at the writhing mass. It stops a moment short, showering it with 23 fire damage of smoking and jagged glass.

You call out for fire support like a child playing at being a crusty old field commander. The fire follows the rocket in, falling on the writhing mass for 36 fire damage.

Jury-rigged rocket enhances this too. Steel rocket does not, so it looks like it has to be immediately preceding it (no surprise).
