The Chinese Army was always short of equipment.*
There were never enough rifles for everyone, so they*
organized Grenade Squads and Pistol Squads.The*
Grenade squads would be supplied only with grenades.*
Because they had less equipment to carry, they also*
were assigned to carry the field equipment.*
*
 A common tactic throughout the 1930's, 1940's*
and 1950's was to have these Grenade Squads sneak*
up to the enemy camps at night, and in a riot of*
whistles, horns, and warcrys they would inundate*
the camp with grenades. The SMG Squads would follow,*
and in combination the two often did great damage.*
However, it was learned the hard way that such*
tactics used during daylight, or against armoured*
vehicles, was distinctly foolhardy.*
*
In order to use Grenade Squads to any*
effectiveness in the game, one must use stealth*
and surprise. The men in a Grenade Squad were*
expected to pick up weapons from their fallen*
enemies or fallen comrades. To simulate this, they*
are given a SMG to start out with.
