Mines Part 4

Tactical Minefields:  Used to attack enemy's ability to maneuver.  
Comes in four varieties.  Bought in groups consisting of variable 
number of minefields.
    Disrupt.  Used to break up enemy's formations, cause premature 
commitment of breach assets, and interrupt command and control.  
Consists of four minefields, each 250m x 100m, arranged loosely over a 
750m x 750m area.  50% probability of encounter.  Resource multiplier 
is .5
    Fix.  Used to slow the enemy down in a specific area so he can be 
killed with direct and indirect fires.	6 fields, each 250mx120m, 
arranged loosely in a 1500m x 1500m group.  50% probability of 
encounter.  Resource multiplier is 1.0
    Turn.  Used to manipulate enemy's maneuver in a desired direction.	
Should have subtle orientation, easily detected bypass, and anchored by 
impassable terrain.  3 or 4 fields, each 500m x 300m.  Arranged in a 
curve measuring 1500m x 1500m overall.	75% probability of encounter.  
Resource multiplier is 1.2
    Block.  Used to stop enemy advance along a specific AA or allow him 
to advance at extremely high cost.  Should be complex (ie integrated 
with wire and other non-mine obstacles) and integrated with intense 
fires.	Will NOT stop enemy by themselves.  8 fields, each 500m x 300m, 
arranged in group 1500 m, and shallow.	Almost as soon as an attacker 
breachs one field, he should encounter another.  Probability of 
encounter is 100%.  Resource multiplier is 2.4
