There's construction and there's construction.	:)  Both the
construction and mine removal bits include a dozer-blade--mine removal
assumes you've also added teeth to turn it into a mine plow as well.

I'm getting a total of 17. . . No, wait, Construction includes Dozer
Blade.	OK.  This looks fine to me.  I'd also permit the Demolitions to
have a 3" range--although with a crewed vehicle target, it has to roll
with a basic firecontrol.  That represents a big f'ing gun which isn't
designed to hunt tanks, but Cthulu help one that gets hit.
