Interesting idea.  I don't know how much nanite technology is assumed 
in the Dirtside/Full Thrust background.  I mean, we don't have little 
armor-eating nanite, or man-eating nanites.

Yeah.  And while you're burying explosives. . . 

I think I'm being damn generous assuming idiot-proof GPR is going to be 
available.  I should make you clear mines by hand.

Grav vehicles in high mode (unless using Traveller grav where high mode 
is suborbital. . . ) are still quite vulnerable to SFF.
