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.
