lol well just a statement but I think that is funny. How do you counter mines as panzer elite? They don't have minesweepers yet they manage to get by.

I would honestly think you would run a cheap conscript into the mine to get rid of it.

The squad sizes are big enough to not get one shotted by a mine, and are probabily dirt cheap to reinforce so it seems like a logical solution to me.

PE can detect mines if they get close enough w/ Field craft ability.

Russia will use their infantry legs to detects mines i think.

they have minesweepers cause otherwise tellermines would be wipe out half their armored force. lol they can one shot a M10 so they would certainly make anything smaller than a t-34 useless.

Hmm teller mines propose an interesting problem. Maybe an upgrade for conscripts (magnetic boots?  :P) that sets off teller mines?

Ok, ok, bad idea was bad, i just want to see what teller mines do to infantry

How about the sappers shouldent you be able to upgrade the with a mine detector like the British sappers?
