RW>You have High Explosive (HE) which can be fused so it;
RW>A) TIMED, explodes before impact (good for spraying
RW>fragments on troops), B) QUICK, explodes ON impact
RW>(good for use against a mixed target, i.e. troops and
RW>equipment) or C) DELAYED, explodes after impact (so it
RW>will penetrate buildings, bunkers etc.)
Don't forget proximity fuses!  A real pain sometimes, but works like a 
charm if conditions are favorable.
RW>There is also Improved Conventional Munitions (ICM).
RW>Think of these as artillery shells filled with either
RW>hand grenades or mines.  They break apart over a target
I like the DICMs, 160 pack into an 8" shell, when they hit, they pop back 
up about 5 meters and explode, so you have 160 miniature airbursts.  I'm 
glad I'm on our side... :-)
RW>White Phosphorus (aka; WP, Willie Pete, Willie Peter).
RW>WP burns on contact with air (oxygen technically).
RW>It's usually used as a spotting round but it can be
RW>used as a incendiary round.  Nasty stuff!  Worse then
"schoolyard with children, fire for effect..." :-)
RW>little but it should be more or less correct.
Sounds good to me, I called them in about 14 years ago... (13fox)
