Hi.
We played the Breackthrough attack yesterday. And we have some question about mineclearing.
Wich zone clears every engineer unit? So, do the engineer clear the 5cm x 5cm they have just in front of them? Or every engineer unit clears an hypothetical 5×5 cm zone in the same minefield they are in conrtact with?

Thank for your time.

I've always assumed the 5x5cm space in front of them. 

Do you have several engineers clearing the same minefield together?

Yes I do.

Engineers on foot (INF:ENG) clear the 5cm x 5cm in front of them. They can automatically advance into that zone (no Order required - if you want them to) once it cleared.
You cannot 'stack' your Engineer units up - and clear more than 5cm x 5cm in a turn. They can work side-by-side but cannot be rotated on the same area.

AFV:ENG clear 5cm wide by 10cm deep per turn, and the same applies to them.
I hope that makes sense?
