What is the best way to detect enemy minefields and obstacle belts? I generally find them when a unit enters a hexagon and takes casualties / must stop to clear. If I understand the manual I think this might be the only way to find them? However, I just had a recon unit enter a hexagon and discover a minefield without taking casualties. Does the type of unit matter as far as detection or casualties? Or if the unit is mounted or dismounted?
Recon units can spot mines and obstacles in an adjacent hex. The logic/settings in the new game for mines and obstacles are deeper and give you, as the commander, more options.
