I would assume so. I haven't tried it though, because the A.I. doesn't place Demo Charges.

Do Demo Charges have health?

I think so. Whenever I find one, I get infantry to shot it until it blows.
The Russians think there sooo tough, wait till the Ostheer comes...

Can some tell me why I couldn't but demos on my trenches playing as the RMC. I had marine sappers with a disposal kit and tried to rig my trench so Yauz's Inf would go in and I'd blow it up.(srry Yauz ;D) plz post
This game is balanced in everyway. Every Army has its strengths and weaknesses and you use your strengths to attack the enemy's weakness. If both players know this,than it turns into a game of skill.

lol...Use doctrine Commandos, and place the demo right in front of the trench.  If the Axis player does not pay attention, you can wipe the whole squad, although if he does pay attention he will be able to target the demo and kill it safely.  I think doctrine Commandos are the only Brit unit that can place demo anywhere.

Although ever since 2.602 increased the detection range of Commando demos to a reasonable range, this trick won't work on me mate.   :P

Nah, put the demo charge IN the trench.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Wow wtf...you can do that?  I've never seen this shit before.  Is the demo in the trench detectable before you get in?

Only if you move past it. If you give the order to get in, you can't stop getting in after you detect it so it's pretty likely your squad will die.

What do you mean move past it?  Is the detectable range the same as demos placed out in the open?

Yeah. So as long as you don't give an order to actually move into the trench, you can detect it normally. Otherwise, you're squad will try to get in and you can't stop them.

Yea no biggie then.  It might be annoying to target a demo that's INSIDE a trench though.  I think I'd have to move the camera to an eagle view to get the mouse to register.

Sappers' demo charges cannot be placed on trenches, neither for CW nor RMC.

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

Its sorta an easter egg XD. Each of the crew members have a name lol.

BTW: If you have PE scorched earth, you can booby trap trenches. Tommies walk in, they run out burning ^^.
