RE: my pzc feature wish list
These thoughts are mine mine thoughts :)
After playing many, many games of Panzer Campaigns, I have kind of gotten used to the mine fields. I tend to clear them as much as possible... even ones that may not even be in the way.
An engineer (with full movement) sitting in a minefield hex will allow travel mode units to move into the hex without being hit by mines.
When I played the Stalingrad campaign (as the Russians), I would use a single unit (usually a penal troop) to 'clear' the minefield (turn it from MINE to mine), so the follow up troops pay less movement and take less damage.
Sometimes if I have enough visibility/recon, I will notice the enemy relying on minefields as a defence. So I will happily push units into them. It can unhinge his plans.
If you are sitting in a minefield, don't change too/from travel mode (unless you have an engineer with full movement in the hex)
I never use auto movement around minefields. The game ignores the existence of the mines when calculating the fastest path. I will move carefully, one hex at a time with a 'throwaway' unit to pick a path.
