Re: SV: FTL Mines

I would add that current doctrine for the use of mines in, like, the US
military is that you don't just sow them some place and forget about
them. They are used as part of an active defense of an area, and any
obstacle should be covered with fire for it to be effective.

Mines should be sown in conjunction with other defending forces already
in the area. The enemy has to take time to either slow down and
negotiate the minefield under observation and fire by the defenders, or,
bypass to a different avenue of approach that the defense wants the
attacker to take for whatever reason.
