Hardradi Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I was wondering if anyone has any tips on trying to rescue incapacitated wounded soldiers and/or their weapons from a minefield? My conclusion is that it is better to leave them, perhaps only risk going in if its a key weapon like portable AT weapons/demo charges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well, if you have an engineer, they can Mark Mines. Once in the minefield, (which is where they end up after doing that command), have them SLOW back out the same way they came. Unless you want them to provide buddy aid and possibly get the weapons. Otherwise, have the desired unit Slow into the action spot...following the same path that the engineers took. (I'm not sure that matters. But I'm not sure it doesn't.) If no engineers, then toss a demo charge in there. You may lose the weapons, though. If nothing else, find some volunteers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Another less elegant solution: If it's an AP mine field, run some tracked vehicles through square. Each will take track damage but also detonate some of the mines. If you detonate enough mines, the signpost will change to green, showing it's now safe to enter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be pretty intense on the nerves when there is no way to know if there are AT mines around as well.

Yes. A mixed minefield will make things exciting. I think @c3k is influencing @Bulletpoint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe his system may be better, especially in a mixed minefield and using a truck filled with 2 or 3 squads. The little survivors can scramble around setting off any extra mines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you did not command a penal battalion in a previous Life ? Good old Stalin would have loved this kind entusiasm i'm sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Before you get too bloodthirsty, I'd like to add that usually a tank is not destroyed by setting off an AP mine, it's merely immobilised Edited February 5, 2018 by Bulletpoint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yeah...and if they have a big enough crew, dismount them and have them do the polka! YEAH! Victory Mine Dance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
