Default Re: MICLIC mineclearing?

We have NO plans to introduce MICLIC mineclearing to the game ( or mine scattering vehicles )

No, you cannot drive a Mine Clearing vehicles through a mine field at full speed without them getting disabled. Would you do that in RL ? Charging into a minefield at 30MPH is not healthy no matter what you're riding in and sometimes a mine will disable even a MC vehicle handled correctly. "War is Hell and S**t happens" NOTHING in this game is 100% certain or predictable.

Yes, you can have more than one mine clearing vehicle or engineer unit working on a hex and that clears it faster. It will also increase the chances of disablement. Better to use engineers and a MC vehicle together ( that 'ole " combined arms approach" )

Keep in mind the game allows you to clear one hex, or about 2500 square yards, of terrain somewhat quicker that would be the case in reality and since this is a game there are compromises made with "reality" and game play
