Size should matter for clearing mines I had a two man Australian Engineer unit clear mines at the same rate as a full strength unit

Except how rare would this situation be, really? First of all, the unit was probably broken, and had to recover enough fatigue to rally to disrupted, then rally to normal before being able to clear mines. Most scenario's would be ending before then.

Then, your 2 man unit could not be anywhere near the front line, as any unit that is size 'X' is going to get shot (and eliminated).

As for 'clearing mines' I imagine all that has to be done is a safe path marked through the mine field (which probably doesn't take up the entire 1km hex).

So if the mines are on the front line, then the enemy can solve the problem by killing the engineers.

If the mines are behind the lines, then you can imagine the engineer unit 'borrowing' rear area troops (not in game, but usually around the HQ) to help with the clearing.

What exactly does one strength point of mines represent? Or the max three points? How many men do you really need anyways mark a safe trail? How large of an area is a typical mine field? Perhaps giving a percentage to clearing attempt would make sense, but if that percentage is likely to be very high, I can live with the odd low percentage for the sake of knowing my mines are getting cleared.

Besides, the game has a mechanism for preventing clearing..its called disruption.
