Hey Uriah -

Everyone answering so far is basically in the ball park, but here's what
Hopler said (from the accumulated rulings) on the subject.  It's as
offifial an answer as  you're probably going to get and I think answers
your question. Hope it helps (sorry if I'm repeating).

> A) EMP does work on Combine equipment. If a Combine chip is shorted out by EMP,
> the attached charge detonates immediately. Throckmorton has taken steps to prevent
> this, of course, so the chips have some degree of hardening against this. The chips in
> individual soliders and small arms are considered military computers (TN 11). Combine
> vehicles and large, crew-served weapons have more shielding, requiring a TN of 13 to
> short. [John Hopler, HoE listserv, 6/14/99]
