How would engineers improve a battle? Wouldn't they be prone to enemy fire more? Are they very useful to have in wartime? Just wondering.......

they aide greatly in defense

(by building fortifications, laying mines etc..)

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

Do they aid much in attacks at all?

Engineers are usually the first in, everyone thinks the infantry are amazing, but it is often the Engineers who have been the true heroes and built or blown up, or both to help their troops win battles.

Even more in attack - build pontoon bridges, clear minefields, clear obstacles etc etc
