Ah.  I shall rethink that one.	Perhaps allow infantry to breach a foot 
lane, taking another activation to improve it to a vehicle lane, but an 
engineer unit automatically clears a vehicle lane?

Yup!  What we usually do is duct-tape two pickets together with C-4 
packed in.  We used 13 packages (1.25 lbs ea) of C-4.  Cool, but a bit 
unwieldy to hump for a couple klicks.  It also has a tendency to make a 
bit of a crater if you over-do it.  More than 13 packages is overkill.
