Some questions about mines and minefields: 1) Is there any way to stop your engineers from clearing your own minefields. I've made this mistake once or twice using build points to lay minefields during deployment, then placing engineers adjacent to really ruin someones day coming through. Then turn after turn they busily go about removing their minefield (other capable units do this too). It's aggravating, especially when the AI places its units adjacent and it doesn't seem to do the same mistake. As a corollary question, how do you have engineers place mines during play? I've seen that mentioned in threads but don't get the mechanics of it.
2) I've also read about clearing minefields using flamethrowers. I understand using z key into hex, but is this all? I mean, I don't think you get the usual x number of mines cleared message, so do you need to send in the conscripts to march firmly and check it out?
3) Just to check...are mines cleared faster by units being IN the hex with them or adjacent (or is it about the same)? Thanks
