I thought you could only purchace mines in a defensive mission. I found to my dismay I ran in to them in an advance mission, the AI had a delay mission! This realy has me re-thinking my core force make up to add a platoon or three of Engineers. A nasty surprise!

Ain't it funny when a AI gets to surprise you ?
Allways buy one footed riflecompany, they have one engineer squad with them. You can also buy them vehicles.
mosh

If you have played the original Steel Panthers, that was the case, you could only purchase mines when you had a 'defend' battle.
Now you can purchase mines at any time. This to some extent is a ballance for Special Forces, Gurilla types. When ever I'm playing against on of my regular e-mail opponants I always have a few mines, even when assaulting, because I know that there will always be something nasty slipping into my rear area and playing merry hell!
