So if troops have cherges of some sort just decide how you want them to
act, for example a satchel charge may be used as a point fire weapon,
range
1 band only, I d12x2. Then determine who has these charges and how many
they have (these denolition charges must be significant to maim an MBT
so
possibly limit to 3 per trooper).  The vehicle cannot 'close assault' a
foot trooper, it must fire upon them (or try to squash/maneuover round
them).	It's a matter then of being able to get close to the vehicle
through screens of defending infantry/vehicle defences.  All this is of
course a risky business for an average grunt.
