Mines, Part 5

roll of concertina.  Signs are placed at intervals reading "MINES" in 
language of army laying and in local language.	Influenced by following 
factors.
    1)Prevent fraticide.  Joe Snuffy, Infantry, isn't too bright.  You 
don't mark it, he'll walk into it.
    2)Geneva Conventions require it.  If your background includes 'em, 
so be it.  If you background involved having your entire JAG department 
shot out the airlock, ignore marking requirements.  
    3)Exceptions--scatterable minefields in enemy rear areas don't have 
to be marked, obviously.  Minefields abandoned and control of area 
turned over to enemy don't have to be marked.
    4)Protective minefields at FEBA generally only have to be marked 
along rear edge and flanks.
    5)Minefields may be marked as individual mine fields, or you can 
throw up a fence around the whole group.  Your call.  I prefer group, 
but YMMV.
