Re: Thinking of aspects of PA in urban fighting [FMAS] [General]

I was just thinking about how easy it was to breach walls in our FMA
game
with standard grenades while the guy is standing their pretty much in
the
same room watching. The physics of explosives preclude being able to do
that
unless you have a specialist shaped-charge or a huge mongo grenade that
will
kill anyone within proximity even the breachers. Ands I don't think a
secured underground scientific facility like the one we were fighting in
would be made out of sheetrock.
