Mines and C&C

Post by Apollyon »

How do you know when a minefield has been cleared?

Second, is there an easier way to switch to a specific unit in a hex that has multiple units stacked in it than trying to click on each individual "+" sign?

Thanks

Two signs of recognition:
1. The mine field symbol disappears.
2. You get a message that that the minefield is cleared.

Thanks, but I guess I missed the "minefield" symbol, have to look for that one agian.

I have another question about mines. Do the units doing the clearing have to do nothing during their turn in order to clear or can they fire and clear?

Apollyon: Sometimes after bombardment, the mines may be impossible to see anymore, and the hex being swamped by units wouldn't help any. One method is to simple place the mouse cursor over the hex and read the display it brings up. If the mines have been spotted, and are still not cleared, the display will show that.
