One thing though: I think it's a mistake not to give conscript support an AT. A whole doctrine with no AT in it is not going to be viable. Remember that the german side will always use vehicles and tanks.
as i said. 1 map, 1 scenario, lots of attention. mines are more fire and forget, and i bet they can sink a tank in the ice too(can they be built on ice?).
Yes. I just did that (but the enemy mortared it off)
Nice example. That is a completely unfair option. It's crazy to let it affect the entire capping circle. One grenadier barely touched the outside of the circle and lost 2 men anyway. At another time it was a complete pio squad.
I think those demos would have been better if their cost was lower in return for a lower damage. But I guess they kept the cost high because they do not want them to be spammed especially since they do not require any research to make.
Your idea is good.
In COH1 the brit commandoes had cheaper (cost?) IEDs, but I don't remember that leading to a spamming. On the contrary: it was seldom used.
