Are mines suposed to be hidden from your opponent?

This exciting new release is a faithful adaptation of the renowned Conflict of Heroes board game that won the Origins Historical Game of the Year, Charles Roberts Wargame of the Year and the James F. Dunnigan Design Elegance Award, as well as many others!

Designed and developed in cooperation with Uwe Eickert, the original designer of Conflict of Heroes, and Western Civlization Software, the award-winning computer wargame studio, no effort has been spared to bring the outstanding Conflict of Heroes gameplay to the computer. Conflict of Heroes includes an AI opponent as well as full multiplayer support with an integrated forum and game lobby. To remain true to the core gameplay of the board game, the PC version is designed to be fun, fast and easy to play, though hard to master. The game design is also historically accurate and teaches and rewards platoon and company-level combined arms tactics without overwhelming the player with rules.

Are mines suposed to be hidden from your opponent?

Post by tsnouffer »

If I am playing MP and I place a mine, will my opponent be able to see that mine from their view? You can with barbed wire, but I wasn't sure about mines.

Thanks

I think if they are placed in the initial setup they remain hidden until moved upon.
But I think when placing them using a card your opponent will be made aware vaguely of their placement.
I notice when playing vs AI, if it places mines mid game, I'm informed on screen of the general area.
Maybe test with MP opponent and find out if he notices anything.
I think some hidden things in the game are given up too easily.

Mines should generally be invisible to your opponents.
