now for anything else...

about explosives(demolitions):
1. can a exploding demo chrg/fougasse/boobytrap trigger other explosions in a chain reaction?(would be nice to press f once and create a wall of fire)if yes, wich one?

2.if a unit passes near a fougasse, say, the hex beside it, can it trigger an explosion?
edit:
3. would regular troops spot explosives or enter their hex without blowing up?(just like mines)
1) Yes it can. Easier done in testing with massed PLO suicide bombers and petrol bomb tankers than dug in demolitions of course,since those were soft targets. And one going off can trigger another which ....

2) No. Fougasse goes on the road hex you want to block, hexes are 50m after all. The side fires (if any produced) can land in other hexes though, so a command detonated (with radio contact, press F) one might spray into the hex you wanted.

3) Troops going slowly who did not set it off might spot it, or might not. Engineers walking very slowly miles better of course. Engineer required to clear - and can have an oopsie doing so. Snipers can fire at demolitions, dont do it from too close up mind!
