Subject: Mines 2
Conventional Mines: Conventional Mines in the 22nd century indicate weapons using a Self-forging fragment to attack armor (which allows them to target grav vehicles) or an area effect fragmentation to attack infantry. They use magnetic, IR, seismic, and other sensors rather than primitive pressure fuzes. Units attacked by conventional mines draw three chits, validity as per HEF vs Infantry and MAK vs Armor. [Mines are BRUTAL.] Minefields, barring some protective minefields, are presumed to have a mixture of AP and AT mines. Note also that they have no IFF, and will attack any unit in the minefield. May included rocket engines to permit them to attack air units [I don't like it, but GZG wrote it in.]
