Off board arty and obstacles

[Stejones82]

Thanks Alan, that helped. But I think the weapon in the database must have a "E" for clearing, not a "D" (or maybe both work?).

Anyway, I looked at the database for Russian Victory and there I see a fair number of the heavier artillery rounds have the "E" flag. And I think it is in RV that I have seen the arty clear obstacles.

And ... TADA .... I have found it! From the sqdata.pdf under section Load Dialog:

The following flags specify loads that represent engineering functions:
• Clearing – The load can be used to clear Obstacles and Mines from the target hex according to other parameters as follows:
o If the Lethality of the load is non-zero, then it can clear both Obstacles and Mines (i.e., bangalore torpedoes).
o If the load has zero Lethality and is marked Ground Only, then it can only be used to clear Mines (i.e., mine detectors).
o If the load has zero Lethality and is not marked Ground Only, then it can only be used to clear Obstacles (i.e., wire cutters).
• Demolition – The load can be used to clear Obstacles, Mines, and Barriers. It also has an increased chance (2X) of immobilizing vehicles when used. When the target hex contains a bridge or rail line, then it has a chance of destroying the bridge or rail line based on the following percentages:
o Light Bridge – 40%
o Medium Bridge – 20%
o Heavy Bridge – 10%
o RR Bridge – 5%
o Rail Line – 40%
