Breach teams in cmfi


Recommended Posts

Do these guys work as assault engineers in cmfi? Ie can they clear mines like engineers? Also, can they clear obstacles, blow up bunkers etc as they are equipped with demo charges. In cmbn I would be using them to blow holes in bocage but the historical scenario I'm fighting, has me equipped with numerous breach teams, which leads me to believe they are there for a purpose or specific role.

Ps..can minefields be pre blasted with demo charges by targetting the ground where mines have spotted? Or can minefields be triggered with mortar bombardments?

Thanks in advance

Not exactly what you are looking for, but form the wiki:

Minefields can be neutralized by heavy artillery (150mm+), if it scores a direct hit. Minefields can be neutralized by a blast from a demo charge, although due to the game's limitations, a blast can only be performed if there is some blastable obstacle (such as wire) in the action spot.

Thanks simast. I was thinking I had the breach teams for a reason as I am conducting a battalion assault on a high ground defense line, but perhaps they are just part of the make up of a US inf battalion?

I also wondered if they are blessed with better mine spotting abilities? As currently I am only finding mines when my men step on them!

Dont think so. They're probably just scenario designer whim to give you options of making entry to buildings or crossing high walls.

I think only troops designated "Engineer" (as in the unit display panes) have better mine spotting abilities.
