My house rules are set up for buried/surface laid mines.  But if you 
want to include something like a WAM. . . Treat it like you do in DSII 
rules--all within 2" of marker are attacked.  This represents not a 
couple hundred buried mines, but a couple dozen WAMs arranged in a 
rough circular patter.	Attack procedure is to roll as normal 
attack--WAM is always assumed to be at close range, may be basic, 
enhanced, or superior.	WAM gets +2 bonus to represent surprise value.	
3 chits, validities as per MAK.  Damaged result is damaged, not M-kill, 
and it attacks top armor.  May be laid as per DSII normal rules, but 
dispenser only takes up 4 capacity points and a reload takes up 2.  
Even this is probably being hard on them--but to make a size class 1 
vehicle able to lug around four complete minefields makes things a 
little unbalanced.  May be laid by VTOLs or DFO pods from aircraft.
