Minefields

[John Cook]

Not just minefields.  In Oman during the Dhofar War, the PFLO placed PMN APers mines on many Jebel tracks and TM-46 ATk mines on larger graded roads.  It was very effective physically and psychologically. It made movement on foot for the Sultan's Armed Forces difficult, and dangerous, as well as for the local Jebali people.  The PFLO used to mine the roads close to Salalah over-night such that they had to be swept every morning.  On the jebel they were still a menace and when I went back in 1985.  The war was long over but PMNs were still killing civilians and wandering animals, and some archaeologists, French as I remember, were killed when their vehicle ran over a TM-46 near Taqah.  I know nothing about the use of mines by partisans during WW2 and this sort of thing might be more appropriate to CWC scenarios.
