Boo Radley Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 I tried to see if I could find this in the FAQ's thread, but had no luck. Question: Can you remove/blow up roadblocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrashb Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 A search on 'roadblock remove' will show something here . Searching the archives would show a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 Yes, I did a search which led me to the FAQ thread which went off topic after the first page, so I just thought I'd throw out a general question. What I was really wondering though, was whether artillery could knock out a roadblock or if tank fire could remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Sakai Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I'd like to know the answer to that as well. I guess there's only one way to find out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Köhler Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Nope... Not possible to remove roadblocks... Not with tanks, engineers, arty... I guess its not in the scope of a CM-battle... Its not like you can blow the with bangalores... Jussi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Monkey Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Won't hits by high-calibre artillery do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpig Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I'd imagine that if a hit by HIGH CALIBRE ARTY removed a roadblock, it would just as likely "leave" a roadblock in it's place. i.e. a big-ass*d crater (or four).

Boo Radley Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 But I read in one of the threads that engineers can blow up road blocks, so it would stand to reason that arty fire or tanks could also remove them. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No?No. Engineers cannot remove or blow up roadblocks. Satchel charges aren't very effective at blasting apart a mess of fallen trees that have tangled together; you need a chainsaw, axes, maybe some peaveys, and time to remove a %$@# #*!$ing logjam (I forget the military term for it). Combat engineers wouldn't have this equipment on hand when going into a battle, so removing roadblocks is beyond the scope of CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
