minesweeper
Up: Table of Contents Previous: Unit Next: Unit
----- Safely detonates enemy minefields, but otherwise vulnerable -----
Point Value: 1
Notes:
The minesweeper is the only unit that can step on a land mine and suffer no damage from the explosion. It is a good idea to send at least one minesweeper into an area if you suspect it to be mined. However, a minesweeper is quite vulnerable to everything other than mines, so they should always be used with discretion. One strategy would be to use spy planes or helicopters to watch for enemies while the minesweepers do their thing.
