The infantry was blown away, but after the satchel charge went off the tank (Type 59-1) exploded ! Meanwhile the engineer was still "Ready" IIRC. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Thanks.

Yeah,I think this sorta thing happens when the weapon's blast area includes friendlies. The tank was in the blast area.

And, you may have your own guys suffer damage or suppression when firing on bad guys in the same or adjacent hex. I seem to recall events like that.
