I'm sure John A will say something about this, but as far as I'm 
aware the point of a mine is to _potentially_ kill an enemy. Mines 
work best when they force the enemy to slow down, or pick another 
route, or do something other than what they wanted to do. Killing or 
wounding is just a bonus.

It doesn't matter if the enemy learns that there's a minefield 
present. That just gives _them_ one more thing to worry about.

Try it in SG2 (gosh bringing it on topic?). When you're defending, 
stick a 'Warning Mine Field' sign on the map. Don't say anything 
about it. Watch your opponent take the long way round, under fire all 
the way,
