RE: stargrunt

With out getting political. Molotovs in Northern Ireland, Chianaman Sq. 
 
China were cases of 'close assault against armour'. Stopping an MBT
would	
be difficult however an APC/MICV is another ball game. Anti armour   
genades or things into suspension. Did anybody remember in the termintor
  
movie the close assault scene where the humans used those charges to
take   
out the tracked hunter killer. If thats not close assualt what is!

They are better than MDC1s (Any decent tech race can fit MDC2s anyway)
Some Weapons are better than others.

If you close assault a tank in SG2, it will run you over and squish you.
What you can do is conduct firing from point blank range. (Does anyone
know of a real life example of close assault on a modern tank? I don't.)
