You can say that again. Had a Challenger 2 Mine Plow hit a minefield at 16 MPH and get immobilized. The Warrior (also at 16 MPH IIRC) following it with Pioneers aboard promptly blew up on a minefield in the hex directly behind which the Plow had failed to detect.

Likewise had a T-55 Dozer get immobilized at 4 MPH. So apparently there is no "optimum" safe speed when dealing with mines. Sorta like in real life, no?

Just thinking aloud, interesting thread. How about a sniper with vision 40. Mind you, he does not "clear" the mine, but he can detonate the mine from a safe distance and rather quickly too.

Mines no, IEDs (demolition Unit Class) yes he can - its what anti-material rifles are for.
