Just noticed in a WW2 LC scenario a booby trap can't be fired at (at least by a British pioneer with an SMG and .303 Bren). It's on a road that cuts through mud and rough so rather annoying. Aside from clearing them from an adjacent hex or setting them off with a sacrificial lamb is there any other way to get rid of them? Thanks.

(BTW the GG doesn't seem to give any suggestions on how to get rid of boobies, IEDs or Fougasses. Or am I missing something?)
