I've tried both these units {VC & NVA)whilst musing over "terrorist" type scenarios to try to create suicide bombers.

At range = 0 both work but if under manual control vs a soft target you 'W' select weapon and type '4' (for the bomb/bombe) they fire their PPSh 41s then the LMG: ie Weapons 1 & 2. Thought this was a "only use the weapon as last resort" sequence coded in there!, as they very rarely use it under normal 'fire' command.

If you switch off weapons 1,2 and 3 then they do use the bomb(e).

Against armour they happily use the AP flavour of bomb(e) as its the best AP they've got.

Range = 0 seems to work, but the units are usually destroyed/routed/surrendered by AI fire getting to point blank. As the bomb(e) doesn't damage them (but is very nasty to the opponent)I thought the 'suicide' name related to closing with the enemy. Set up on turn 1 to occupy the same hex as an enemy unit they work, but this seems pointless under player control. Considered them for a "blow the gates" opening to a scenario.

Never tried them under AI control (which is what I wanted) as the oddities above made me think they wouldn't detonate.
