Should the engineers be able to build obstacles?

[DaveK]

It makes no sense that they can't, IMO, especially in Modern Campaigns. To a modern engineer unit, a minefield is to obstacles is to an anti-tank ditch. A game engineer can lay a minefield and dig in units up to 40% fortification, but can't dig a simple anti-tank ditch?

(BTW, if anything-- the mine-laying ability/per-turn probability of engineers has always struck me as far too low in the HPS series, again especially in Modern Campaigns. We're only talking a level 1 minefield, after all-- a speedbump for all practical purposes. Yet I can order an engineer unit to lay a minefield and watch them take two days to do it. Fog of war and all that jazz, but also bizarre).
