SF> Don't make predictions they may come true, detouring in was not so sensible 231 moved 100m & went bang mines parallel to village, said he would never shoot his load (scuse me). Thing is he had a squad on either side (blind as bats) & there is a row of trees not far away with no fire forthcoming. I could clear these without coming under fire. Of course all dedicated mine clearers are in the other force. Playing the AI more often would help here if facing a line of mines could transfer to here, but if not wasted 3-4 turns moving over. Poor deployment somebody should be watching.

MF> 4 Vehicles opened up on new squads followed by a squad. Unit out of sight then moved into wood & dug out all dead & there is no one else on this side of the trees. Now I have a problem even with JPz1s I will need to be close from front or mid for a turret side hit, this mean have to find whats past them in the murk to deal with safely & thats if I dont hit mines. Think I can get in position to South of as horizontal row of trees about 200m from them & those guys are the furthest forward. They are only a Km from level 0 flag cluster though so are likely to be coming up on something
Decided 2 Pioneers are heading North to clear mines just in case, turfing the others out of halftracks as safer transport if need to move up & dig out stuff.
Being honest not being very effective here I am in a mess. The only thing I have done right is all mortars are now mobile & should not have to move again once arrive.
