I do not have the rule book with me, or even available at home. Locked in my attic.
What are the restrictions upon HIP and the employment of mines? I think that they can be HIP in open ground. And they are automatically HIP if in concealment terrain. Do they appear if they are in an enemy LOS? HIP mines simply cost more (doubled) when purchasing them. But they cannot be HIP in either a road hex or a bridge hex. Correct?
Another question arose when I was explaining to my friend about Anti-tank mines. If a tank move into such a hex, the owner of the mine rolls a dr equal to the strength of the mine field both upon entrance and exit of the hex. A one strength mine field affects the tank with a roll of a one. A two strength mine attacks the tank with a roll of a one or a two on the dr. A six strength minefield is an automatic hit upon the tank. He was an expert on the game Squad leader where the mine rules were different.
