Liklely his TO&E's allow a very great flexibility to respond to 
opponent tactics. He's an engineer. Their jobs in the military is to 
crack obstacle nuts while potentially under fire and in a potentially 
dangerous way. Likely he's gots some damn good sense on the tactics 
for getting through/past/over obstacles that are covered by fire and 
thus finds mobile tactics of less than 3-1 odds easy.

Imagine a miniatures game that was specifically arranged around 
zoological nomenclature and Marine Biology. You'd be pretty much set 
wouldn't you?
