Were your engineer assets unsupressed?

What experience level were they?

Those alongside the target hex - were they [/b]pointing at the target hex[/b]?.

Try the attached simple test scenario for engineer training (there is only an HQ on the OPFOR side).

1) move engineer assets towards target hexes and point them at the hex (Manual "Mines and Field Engineering", Note No. 2). press end turn a few times to see clearance in action.

2) Now, move assets so you have multiple engineers pointing at the same target hex, press end turn a few times, and see how the clearance rate increases.

I was the attacking side in the 1973 game playing Israel which had a base experience of 80. So experience shouldn't be the problem. My engineers were also unsupressed for four whole turns without moving a bit. They also faced to the mines, so no problems in that either.

Thanks for the test scebario, but I've tested the engineers several times before and after experiencing this bug. In the test scenarios I've built I've never had any problems. And as for the Finland vs. Sweden game, my opponent (the attacker) was experienced player and also found the bug.

I attach a screenshot from the Egypt vs. Israel game. It's somewhat misleading as those engineers have just suffered couple of losses in artillery fire. But before that they were unsupressed and didn't move for four turns.

Is there any explanation for the fact that in the Finland vs. Sweden game my own engineers were able to clear barbed wire and mines but the opponent wasn't?

Cheers,
Jukka

I have not had any issue with engineers not clearing mines. I have had mech ing clear mines in the Silver Lions campaign post in this forum.

I haven't tried from a saved game.

**IF** you see this again make a save of the turn that shows the engineers doing nothing but continue to play your game. Once you are done your game go back to that save and see if the engineers behave any differently when you restart it. If they still just sit there forward us that save game with info on where we should be looking
