I'd have to say there's a bit of a problem here.  You aren't supposed 
to do both sides at the same time, which means that you have to split 
it between two turns.  Time to rig charges, move off to a safe 
distance, blow it, come back, rig the other side, move off to a safe 
distance, blow it, and double check.  Doing it all at once can cause 
problems--say roll unit quality dice vs a 3? to do it right?

That's not a concept I'm familliar with, so I don't really know how 
competent they'd be.  Institutional rivalry says I'm shocked they don't 
blow themselves to shreds. . . :P
