Just finished a scenario where I had 3 regular infantry squads on a single dragon's teeth (tooth?) for 2 consecutive turns without clearing it. According to the game guide:

"Dragons teeth represent anti-vehicle obstacles of a substantial nature (such as piles of logs perhaps), used as an anti vehicle barrier, or as road blocks etc. They are best cleared by engineer types. They stop all (non-flying) vehicles, but are only an obstacle to foot troops."

My question is, since "They are best cleared by engineer[s]," can regular infantry clear them at all? Thanks.

Looking at the function - only the engineer classes can clear dragons teeth.
