Usage Notes

The usual tactic is to set the timer, drop them on the ground, run away. However, they can be thrown a useful distance by a strong soldier, so throwing them is a worthy experiment to try.

Tip: If set next to a UFO's diagonal wall, the explosion will go into the UFO and detonate navigation consoles on the far side. Roast 'em in the shell.
