Status: offline 		Playing as the Allies, what is the use of the Engineer teams? I've just been using them as second-line infantry, but is there something more I could be doing with them? Do they have any special engineering abilities or weapons (I see no indication of this but you never know), or is their name just for flavor?

They really don't engineer anything. The difference between them and other infantry is they have dynamite. When they get in close (Real close! As in Close Combat close)with enemy infantry, chances are you will see a big explosion. That is the dynamite doing lots of damage to the enemy. Same thing as the German pioneers, Panzer pioneers.

They are real good to have in urban environments when you want to dig out tough enemy.
