Looks like I've found a use for some Engineers after all.

I've managed to get the M128 GEMSS into the game for my Berlin scenario as it was issued to the 42nd Engineer Company. The M128 is a towed mine dispenser which most Engineer Companies had. It would be towed behind an APC or truck and fling out AP and AT mines.

It's a bit of a fudge but I can get the unit to deploy two FASCAM minefields by making it an Artillery gun with a range of 600m. I originally had it at 300m but as soon as it deployed the minefield it would get destroyed by the minefield.

. I've set the damage from the gun to be 0 and I've given the unit no salvos to fire but it seems to still have at least one salvo. This should keep it from acting like a real artillery gun as long as the enemy is not range and the FSCC from tasking it as well.

The real M128 took 9 mins to deploy 800 mines for a 60m x 500m minefield and took 20mins to reload. So it might pay to have a house rule of one minefield at a time.

Cool! And with a matching silhouette too!

The M128 is impressive in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNQIE-D8uwY

You seem to be very protective of your Berlin.
