dunc Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 when troops walk through a minefield and mines are set off, is that mine used up? So, say there were 10 mines, and 2 went off, would there be 8 left, and therefore there is a lower chance of any oher troops getting hit? Or are minefields "unlimited"?

I/O Error Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Ummm... Rob, thats what he just said. /me smacks Rob/1 To answer the question, I THINK minefields are effectively unlimited. I believe they stay there and continue to do damage until an engineer squad removes them. Anyone know for SURE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 I know antitank minefields have a limited number of mines, so AP fields are probably the same. I was playing a battle in which the only way the AI's halftracks could advance was along a mined road. After about 5 halftracks, the "achtung minen" flag disappeared, and there were no more mines exploding. Therefore, don't count entirely on mines to stop an enemy's advance, you also need to cover the mines with plenty of firepower. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.
