YES they do



There were three IED's in this test. One team cleared theirs rather quicky, this is the message when the second team cleared theirs. The B0 unit is still working on theirs and cleared it on turn 9.....so yes patience is required. Like real bomb disposal there are no quick and easy solutions and some will take longer than others and the second time I ran the test the lower IED went off when the engineers entered the hex to begin work......the second one was cleared turn three but the third was not cleared until turn 8 and none of these engineers were under fire.

That's why its just easier to "defuse" them with a .50 cal round ( safer for the troops ) but NOTE a "regular" sniper will also work but it usually takes more shots
