Each side will be issued a certain number of mine markers. A mine marker will consist of a thin metal rod with a flag attached at one end. Each side's flags will be in a different color or pattern. These mine-markers groups can be put together to build minefields of any length or depth. Minefields should be marked off with string, chalk, flour etc.
Minefields pose a serious obstacle to passing troops.
Failure to take appropriate casualties in a minefield will incur a 500 point penalty , plus canceling any Combat Points gained in the action in which the crossing of the minefield was a part. A mortar crew will inform a referee of their intent to bombard a minefield. The referee will put himself into a position to observe the landing of the mortar rounds. The mortar crew will then conduct the fire mission. He will then place himself next to a mine marker probe the ground with a bayonet or tool.
