Morte Rouge Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 The minefield at the bottom of the first hill was marked at the beginning of the scenario (or shortly thereafter -- I forget). I got some engineers down to the scattered trees near the minefield where they sat a few turns. Voila, the sign went away. Quite a while later, after knocking out the Panther, I sent a Sherman merrily down that road and BOOM, it got knocked out by the minefield. Suddenly the mine sign was back up. Doh! Questions: How close do the engineers have to be to disable the things? Why did the sign disappear and then reappear only after I was suckered into driving over them? Hopefully this is covered in the manual in greater detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.Tankersley Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 The Germans in VoT get a "daisy-chain" minefield and one or more buried anti-tank minefields. The daisy-chain is just mines laying on the road, so they are easy to see and clear. My guess as to what happened is you cleared the daisy-chain but there were buried mines nearby and your Sherman found one, alerting you to the presence of more mines. ------------------ Leland J.
