RE: Close Assault and Scenario (Stargrunt)

	A while back I sent in some mail on armour overrunning infantry
in
DS. In that I gave the example of Russian troops being trained to let
tanks
roll over them and them hit them with the anti tank grenades they get
issued
with from behind. I would have thought that the Egyptians were doing
something similar but then I was under the impression that only half the
Isreali infantry had Uzi's the rest using FNL rifles. And just to add to
your thoughts on infantry close assulting armour, Afghan Guerillas used
to
take out Russian tanks by smearing mud over the driver's vision ports
and
then shooting him when he opened up the clean them. 
	Just an idea.
