Actually, no I didn't, because I'd never heard of it till now! Sounds a
neat idea though, and it was KIND of the thing I had in mind when I did
the
"jumping mines" rules - an emplaced remote launcher of some kind that
fires
either a penetrator or a scatter warhead straight up when it detects a
grav
or VTOL craft low overhead.
