Was having a look at the assault rules on the help file, and it mentions totting up the fire values of all your weapons when calculating the assault result.
Would that include satchel charges?
In other words, am I better off carrying my satchel charge into the assault, or chucking it beforehand?
If you want to use the SC in the assault, you'll want to chuck it before hand, then assault.
If you assault without chucking the SC, it doesn't add to the assault value, but you will still have the SC to use in a later turn (provided the soldier holding the SC doesn't get killed in the assault).
Thanks Dazooz. I did note that assaulting with them doesn't use it up....but then again assaulting doesn't use up any other weapon either, so the question came to mind.

Yup, depending on what I am assaulting. Those breaching/assault weapons seem to be always in high demand though, (never seems to be enough of them to go around! :) ) so I try and make sure I use it where it is most needed.

Live and learn (or in my case...sacrifice my virtual troops and learn).
Good info.
Same thing with Molotov cocktails and some other weapons so you want to look before hand at the assault values. If you see a '0' thne it is not used in asault.
