>WWII campaign with slight magic.
>The party doesn't have magic, but some arsehole enemy soldier has the power to let
the same bombs detonate multiple times.
What can be some good ways to play around with this concept?

Have the allies send the PCs to an axis laboratory trying to infuse guns with magic on an industrial scale. Their job is either to shut it down, or as a bonus objective, sabotage the magic to make the guns less effective.

The Russians develop a bomb with a magical payload. The PCs have to infiltrate an eastern Nazi base and set it off. Alternativly you can have the Americans send the PCs in to sabotage the bomb to ensure the Russians don't become too powerful

(if you can tell, I'm having fun with this idea OP)

Maybe explain the multi-explosions as the first idea? The explosions don't come from the soldier but from the weapon itself
>>
>>53416681
Well it works exactly like it does in the RC skit I posted in the image.
Bomb explodes, then when soldier does his thing a second explosion happens in the exact same place the first one happened. But he needs a material from the bomb that was used to explode it.
For example he can re detonate a grenade as many times as he wants in the same area if he has some gunpowder if it was a GP grenade, but only in the exact same area it detonated and he can't detonate non GP bombs with whatever explosive compound it used.
He also needs to have touched said bomb first so no booming enemy bombs. That make sense?
