Default Re: Engineers clearing own mines/wire/DT\'s

Its part of the game mechanics. Defenses are neutral once constructed. Mines inflict damage on your units and other defenses affect your mobility as well. Placing an engineer unit right up against a hex with defenses means they're going to set about undoing them.

I would have thought placing your troops right on the edge of a minefield would have been inpractical regardless.
This explanation is correct. Mines, DT's, wire etc in the game have no "sides" and if you point an engineer unit at them they will set to work to remove them. The simple solution is never put your own engineers right beside your own defensive Mines, DT's, wire etc
