In point of fact, I can't recall very many winning
causes that used suicide troops.  BUT, then again,
we're talking Arabs here.  Suicide troops or not, they
don't have a real great post-gunpowder record.

Sure.  It's not tactically sound.  It's also not
tactically sound to have an infantry squad with only
one sustained fire weapon per infantry squad.  But
it's reality of GZG-verse (The IFed units I just got
in the mail today include a few suicide bombers, as a
matter of fact) that the IFed routinely uses
"martyrs".  So. . . 

IMHO, treat them as light artillery shells, detonated
at the player's option.  They also go boom when they
loose their nerve--ie, become broken.  They're ready
to go to Allah, the only thing their morale affects is
whether they keep their heads long enough to get close
enough to do some good.

Hey, if you're playing ragheads oposite me, you intend
it to be a Holy War on my part anyway.	It's why Don
won't do it.
