Conventional Mines:  Conventional Mines in the 22nd century indicate 
weapons using a Self-forging fragment to attack armor (which allows 
them to target grav vehicles) or an area effect fragmentation to attack 
infantry.  They use magnetic, IR, seismic, and other sensors rather 
than primitive pressure fuzes.	Units attacked by conventional mines 
draw three chits, validity as per HEF vs Infantry and MAK vs Armor. 
[Mines are BRUTAL.]  Minefields, barring some protective minefields, 
are presumed to have a mixture of AP and AT mines.  Note also that they 
have no IFF, and will attack any unit in the minefield.  May included 
rocket engines to permit them to attack air units [I don't like it, but 
GZG wrote it in.]
