Which comes first - Op Fire of Minefields

[Brett Nicholson]

Brett,

What was actually decided is that the owner of the mines could state whether he wished to 'attack' with the mines if only a truck or leader or wagon was sent in. However, once a genuine combat unit (inc APC's) entered, then mines would attack as per the rules.

This was to avoid gamey recon attempts by using useless trucks. So far, the rule has worked well.

Okay then, so in no case are leaders immune to minefields? Even if combat units were sent in ahead first? I wasn't questioning sending a leader in first but good to know the owning player can decide whether the minefield is revealed by recon efforts that way.
