Or maybe a die shift weaker impact than an IAVR (which is d12 if I 
recall). But I like this idea  a lot too.

Even every second guy!

CDMs - Command Detonated Mines. 

Excellent strategic use, assuming you are in fixed defenses or have 
an action to plant them and the enemy doesn't see you planting them. 
(If he does, at least he'll know what he has to deal with). 

Good Advice, Stu.
