These are not {OFFICIAL} rules suggestions - just some thoughts for
discussion....

Agreed that this is an interesting discussion, and detailed
mine/antimine
rules could form a good scenario basis, but I also agree that some
simple
and abstract rules for resolving these operations in the course of a
game
would probabaly be best for most purposes. As suggested above, how about
rating both mine and mineclearing systems as Basic, Enhanced or Superior
tech, and make a mineclearing operation a simple opposed roll between
the
mine tech and the clearing tech? Success by the clearer means X metres
of
minefield is now safe, success by the mines means they've missed some
(!)
and critical success by the mines means the engineers get blown
up.......
