Status: offline 		Are engineer teams capable of anything special in CCTLD or are they simply infantry teams with a slightly different makeup? I mean, can they blow bridges or set charges or anthing? I notice they have dynamite sticks in their weapons list. But what does this weapon do and how do they use it?

Thanks.

They are also supposed to be able to disarm mines, although I haven't seen that happen.

Status: offline 		Wow! I've been cutting the engineers from my battlegroups. Maybe I should keep them!

They probably get slaughtered though when they charge an enemy position to plant charges I would think.

Status: offline 		This experience comes from CC:WaR, but I'm fairly certain it applies: My German squad chucked their explosives at a target during an assault and not only was the American squad decimated but so were two of my other German squads that were also involved in close assault. At least it appeared the casualties were a direct result of the explosives, so use with caution...

Sometimes when you're assaulting...some of the team members running ahead of the guys throwing the satchel charge will get blown up real good...brutal stuff!
