Bolt out of the Blue 5.3

One more small question that has puzzled me for awhile.

The three Chieftain units of the UK 32 Armored Engineer Regiment of the BAOR are flagged for mine/clear, but won't lay mines when you try and give them that command. I haven't tried to clear mines with them yet, but I assume that the way the PzC system works they won't clear mines either. They are flagged for demolition, but there aren't any real obstacles for them to clear so I haven't tested yet whether they can do that.

According to the Wiki:

"32 Armoured Engineer Regiment had three squadrons each of 4 troops, a total of 72 tanks. Each troop had 3 AVREs and 3 AVLBs (bridge layers). The AVRE has a wide range of capabilities including launching fascines (large pipe bundles) into anti tank ditches, laying trackway, clearing mines, dozing and destroying enemy strong points. The bridge layer can lay a scissor bridge over a gap up to 23m wide or a fixed bridge over smaller gaps up to 12m. The complete launching sequence takes less than five minutes. Larger gaps can be crossed using bridges in combination."

The above and presence of the AVLB's suggests the 32 Regiment may also be given a bridge-laying ability.

Given this is a unique unit more or less descended from the WW2 "Funnies" I can see how it would be difficult to model.

But right now the only thing UK 32 Armored Engineers can do is dig trenches.

Is this WAD? Or did the OOB have a glitch?
