T55 BTUs in "Duel for the Golan Heights-85-Valley B"

T55 BTUs in "Duel for the Golan Heights-85-Valley B"
I'm playing Duel for the Golan Heights-85-Valley B vs Tiger 88. The designer gave my Syrians a ton of T55 BTUs and a handfull of the mine clearing ones as well (T-55 KMTs). Naturally the scenario has blockades and minefields across half the map which I have to navigate through under fire.

In trying to figure out why nothing is getting cleared I remembered a tournament post by Petri and sure enough, it was the same T55 BTU problem:

Commanders, this just in: Unfortunately, there's errata in T-55 BTU Platoon Description, where it states the unit can clear obstacles and minefields. What BTU does it can be used for creating Improved Positions, all important to have your tanks in hull down positions. Clearing minefields is what T-55 KMT does. 

There's a lot of special capabilities with units, and the Unit Card does not have icons for everything due to lack of space (to be addressed in some future release at least to some extent. There's so many capabilities often in play though will be a bit of a challenge). 

Meanwhile, F2 Unit Info is your best friend for viewing all unit special capabilities. [Apparently not in this case, that's where I went in the first place. Smile ]


So does this mean that any scenario that the designer used these tanks in is flawed? I can't believe the designer of the Golan scenario would have given me so many tanks to build improved positions with. Especially since I'm attacking. I really don't need anymore improved positions, unless maybe they have Netflix.

Is there any way to know which scenarios should be avoided going forward?

Has there been any effort to notify designers of this flaw, so they can address their current scenarios and avoid this problem with future ones?
