Scott Adams Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 I am playing the demo (over and over) as I await the game delivery. I have all the neat mods already downloaded. Now I must be patient. Anyway on with my question. Sorry if has laready been answered I could not find anything similar with the forum search. In "valley of trouble" there are marked mine fields. I have placed engineers in them and havge not seen any positive indication they are clearing the mines. Am I missing somemthing? ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 IIRC, Engineers take a few turns to clear a minefield. Also, if they are supressed or have to return fire the process is put on hold until they can resume. Check the manual to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4A Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 The engineers must have demolition charges left and be within ~20 meters of the mines to clear them. (not IN the minefield). If nothing is shooting at them, they should be done within a few turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Adams Posted January 15, 2001 Author Share Posted January 15, 2001 YEs I understaqnd from the brief manual in the demo. My question is do I get any sort of feedback that they are actually clearing the mines or that they are done? thanks! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Adams Posted January 15, 2001 Author Share Posted January 15, 2001 thanks! I had sorta noticed later the mine marker was gone. I thought it had just been blown away by a stray shell! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subvet Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 If you zoom in you can actually see the demo. charge fly through the air a couple seconds before the minefield is cleared, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 I have sent engineers on top of minefields before without demo charges (I think they didn't have any) and they have cleared them after 2-5 turns. I didn't think they needed them. stimpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
