Der Kuenstler Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I was playing a scenario Vs the AI yesterday. There was a minefield next to 2 houses that were occupied by 2 of my squads. I ordered another one of my pioneer squads to advance to the next house up the road. So as they are advancing past the mine field, they chuck a satchel charge at it. Boom! It destroyed the minefield plus the two occupied houses my squads were in. Then when they got to the next house, they threw another charge out the window at a nearby enemy trench and blew the house down on themselves. What the? How do you control how these bozos use charges? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Have you tried a disriminating and narrow cover arc, in the opposite direction, to nullify the engineers natural instinct to blow up things willy-nilly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You generally don't have to ensure pioneers don't chuck charges as it usually takes a lot for them to throw them. You just got lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kuenstler Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 OK for those curious to know, I replayed the turn with them on "run" instead of "advance" and they didn't throw any charges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvidae Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I love watching my units do stupid things, Even if they do get slaughtered in the process, But I've never seen a pioneer squad comit suicide that way before, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
