Hans Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 For a Vietnam scenario I have some unusually accurate information. The US has 390 US style M-14, M-16 and a few M-18 anti-personnel mines. Anyone care to guess how many CM AP mine counters that might equal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tittles Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 The M14 is somewhat small mine that is meant to incapacitate rather than kill. The M16 is a bounding betty type and the M18 claymore is the directional above ground 'mine'. Each is very different. The first two are true mines but the M18 is more a command detonated weapon. The claymore is more akin to grapeshot or cannister. AP minefields in the game are rather simplistic anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junk2drive Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I think the best guess would be how many mines per square meter or meters. Assuming CM mines fill a 20m tile. If the US placed 5 in 20m sq then 400 would be 400 divided by 5 eq 80 tiles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't recall how many mines were suppose to go into a 20 x 20 meter square! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
