Question about Mine Clearing VS Engineer Tanks
I seem to be a bit confused (nothing new there).
Looking at OOB #12 (US Army) I see :
Unit #192 - Sherman Dozer (UC 37 - 110 pts)
Unit #196 - Sherman Flail (UC 36 - 120 pts)
Unit #239 - M48 Blade (UC 37 - 160 pts)
Unit #194 - M48 Rollar (UC 36 - 170 pts)
Now in both examples they have the exact same stats with the exception of one being Unit Class 36 (Mine Clearing Tank) and the other being Unit Class 37 (Engineer Tank).
According to the MBT Game Guide UC 36 "Clears mines and DT" and UC 37 "Clone of 36, Clears mines and DT".
But from my game experience UC 36 units DO NOT clear Dragons Teeth and UC 37 units do. All well and fine, one wouldn't expect a flail to have much effect on them whereas a dozer blade could push them over, dig them up, whatever.
So why does the less capable UC 36 (Mine Clearing Tank) cost 10 points more then the UC 37 (Engineer Tank)?
