Duh, but excuse me for asking, but just what are the mine clearers doing
when this dinner plate thing just digs itself out of the ground and
wanders across the trail and then digs itself back into the ground? A
couple of sharp shooters could take those babies out with one or two
bursts of their AR's. I think a mobile mine field is a good idea but it
needs a little more work on just what that would constitute. Mobile
could
mean that the mine field deploys itself, or that it reconfigures itself
on command or something, but move around on its own? If it could do that
I would have to ask for the rules on my "assault mine field" it would be
perfect for assaulting a fixed position. Could you imagine the fun you
would have when a mine crawled into your foxhole? No troopers, just the
attack of the dinner plates that go Boom!
