true a satchel charge is a nasty piece of kit, but it really needs some kind of special deployment mode/transport to get it into position safely...
without taking either drop troops and/or light infantry or else mechanised, there's little hope you'll get that charge into throwing range.
word of mouth has gotten around that
everyone should fear a squad of 6 guardsmen who don't have any heavy weapons as they're either hardened vets, or else they're holding that dreaded satchel charge!
cheers!
