1) Did you remember to point the engineer tanks at the dragons teeth hex? (leg engineers need to enter the D/T hex)

2) Did you then wait for several turns for the engineering works to complete?

- Mine clearing is subject to random factors, so engineer tank A may clear 3 D/T from a hex at a different rate than engineer tank B, all other factors being equal.

- being suppressed or worse can slow the work down or stop it altogether. Armoured vehicles are less easy to suppress than leg engineers, though.

- Engineer tank class clears D/T better than Mine-clear tank class (vice versa for mines of course).

- There may be more than one D/T unit in the hex. Plus mines (1+ units) too. (The AI's bridge blocker with a D/T usually has a mine too).
