You can say that again. Had a Challenger 2 Mine Plow hit a minefield at 16 MPH and get immobilized. The Warrior (also at 16 MPH IIRC) following it with Pioneers aboard promptly blew up on a minefield in the hex directly behind which the Plow had failed to detect.
Likewise had a T-55 Dozer get immobilized at 4 MPH. So apparently there is no "optimum" safe speed when dealing with mines. Sorta like in real life, no?
