Lurkur Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 So I was catching up on some old reading and stumbled over this little nugget about CMBB (and I'm assuming CMAK)- "HE reduces the effectiveness of minefields." Has anyone had experience with this? Is it worthwhile to target minefields with HE or a waste of time and ammo? Lurk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 If you plaster a known minefield marker with enough HE craters, then the chances for a crossing unit to trigger a mine are indeed reduced. Is it worth it? My gut feeling would be no unless the defender has a lot of minefields and you need to create a gap for the majority of your forces to pour through. But that seems a rather unlikely scenario for the typical CM battle. How many craters are needed? That information was left out of the CM manual on purpose (and I believe it's in fact rather random, too) Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securityguard Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Not worth it in any stretch of imagination. Minefields are not that effective in CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquon Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 My two cents on this: I don't know the game engine, but my gut feeling is that if you're occupying 'crater' terrain - layered on top of the 'minefield' terrain - you should be safe. Lurkur, that still won't get you through 50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Well, he's been pretty successful at creating craters so far. He did bring 6 KV-2s to the party. Some of his other efforts have been less successful though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
