Erm. . . I don't know as much about air and artillery scattered
minefields, but this is my estimate.
Artillery: Standard blast radius as per normal artillery. Open sheaf
gives 50% probability encounter, 2 chits, validity as per conventional
mines. Tight sheaf gives 40% + (10%xguns firing).
Air-delivered: DFO may be scatterable mines, as per artillery. 60%
chance of encounter, otherwise all the same.
Note that most scatterable mines have a self-destruct fuze, with
variable settings from 18 hours to 7 days.
