Come on, Packer! You're reaching now. If you had read the entire post (or
it may have been another one---it's hard to keep up with all the rebuffs
to your tired tirades), you would have realized that the mines could
have been _purposely_ placed _in_the_road_.
We'll go through it again, slowly.
Faction A uses a lot of sniper attacks against Faction B.
Faction A wants a lot of Faction B to be out in the open
so their sniper attacks work.
Faction B wants to quickly drive armored vehicles through
possible sniper areas to avoid being out in the open.
Faction A wants Faction B to get out of their moving armored
vehicles, so Faction A puts mines in the roadway.
Faction B wants to go through the area, but they cannot just
drive over the mines as if they were normal blockages.
Faction B must get out of their vehicles to either disarm the
mines or move them out of the way.
Faction A opens up with sniper fire.
Get it? This explains all your "misgivings" about the picture. Now
get a life.
