Bombs on Troops???

What's the point of having Bombs on troops? Do they actually do anything? It just seemed odd that you can put them on ground troops.

If you are talking about Small Cluster Bombs, they are some of the best weapons to put on troops. They do far more damage than Ground Cannons, and they take up the same amount of space.

So somehow these troops actually drop the bombs? Are the troops so abstracted that the little tank thingie could actually be representing "land/sea/air" troops? It just seemed weird to me that the troops could drop bombs...

Think of troops as being a combined arms
force (which is exactly what they'd have
to be, if you think about it).

You can also think of troops as heavy artillery that "shoot" the bombs rather than "drop" the bombs. Or it could just be a Marine with a really big grenade launcher. Or anti-tank weapon. Or even a mobile missile launcher, and the cluster bomb in that case would be a missile. Lots of options here... just use the imagination...

I never use anything else besides cluster bombs on my troops. Takes most people out in the first turn of combat.
