[B]Yes, and it will also help reveal the presence of mines. Big bore guns clear them faster.
The last time I experimented with this, a 150mm infantry gun worked very well. [/B][/QUOTE]
From my testing last year any weapon 20mm or larger will unmask and remove mines, the larger the warhead size the faster it removes them.
It takes something like 3-5 hits from a 20 mm to remove a mine, 1 hit from 81mm and when you go larger you get multiple mines with each hit.
Leg engineers will remove up to 5 mines per turn (out of a possible max of 50), engineer vehicles and regular infantry will remove up to 3 per turn.
If the defense is maxed out at 50 mines per hex it can take one engineer 20+ turns to remove all of them, if you are in a hurry pile in engineers to have more than one working on the same hex. But you better have the area smoked first because that is an easy to spot target if the defender bothers to check where the mines are disappearing.
thanks, John.
