WRONG! I like the CL test to make the attempt but you need an opposed
die
roll in there.	You should at least have to roll a quality die and
perhaps a
die based on vehicle size (Class 1 (d4) - Class 5 (d12) {easier to find
an
area on a big tank} and lets face it, inexperienced troops would have no
idea where to place the thing) vs. the quality die of the AFV
(experienced
AFV crews would be more aware of enemy close assaults and their own
weaknesses).  Then you have results.. MAJOR RESULT- Check for
penetration x2
MINOR RESULT- Check for penetration  NO RESULT - Unit placing
charge/anti
tank weapon suppressed "OH SHIT! NOTHING HAPPENED! GET DOWN!"  This
would
imply some risk to the unit placing the weapon.  If you mess it up,
you're
gonna be suppressed next to a big tank with a mad crew.  I would say for
an
improvised charge Penetration should be D12 and for a specialist charge
D12x2.	Satchel Charge Class 1,  Anti-Tank Magnetic Mine Class 2.  The
cool
thing is, you can use this to breach holes in buildings and such...Cool!
