Is it best to put engineers in same hex or to the rear of boxes. The problem i have with same hex is this. The one i put on the hex is the only one who can try and assault the box. If i try more then one the splash damage hurts my troops more then the box. Where if i put them in adjacent hexes more then one platton can assault.[X(]

Wooops should have put this in Satchel charge thread. Didnt see that one .

The best thing to do is smoke and bypass :) Blind the fortification, move past it, and forget about it.

However, if you must kill it, use a single engineer squad behind the bunker, and move the rest forward. Or use a tank. Tanks kill bunkers good. Often, iroically, the best angle for a tank seems to be from the front - check the armor ratings on the fortifcation.

But, it's easiest and quickest to smoke and bypass :)
