Re: [SG] Islamic Bombers

Hmmm...

I don't know about the free pass on that morale check to enter melee.  I

mean in the case of this unit they are basically about to commit
suicide...  
I would think that this would require a morale check.  :-)

If they are hit on the way in, I don't think the bomb should detonate. 
I 
think that tech would be good enough that this would not be an issue, or
at 
least it would be very, very rare for a bomb to explode by accident.  
However, committing suicide at JUST the right time is a tricky think, 
witness any given day in Israel :-(.   I think perhaps another check of
some 
sort to see if they detonate too early or something.

Just my thoughts,
Scott
