Addermine

Notes: This British Mine uses a LAW-80 antitank rocket launcher to create an off-route mine. The Addermine couples the LAW-80 to an acoustic sensor that triggers when heavy vehicle noise passes between 20 and 200 meters of the weapon. This sensor is only 25% likely to be fooled by other loud noises, is blast-resistant, and can be defused normally. The tripod and sensor may be recovered after the rocket is fired and reloaded with a fresh LAW-80 launcher. (These items weigh 2.5 kg.) The Addermine may also be command detonated from up to 200 meters away.

Barmine

Notes: The Barmine is a British antitank mine, named for its shape. The Barmine is 1.2 meters long, designed to attack a large part of the vehicle at once. The mine may be easily neutralized by turning the arming lever, but cannot be fully disarmed. It is laid lengthwise in the path of a vehicle, and due to its length, can defeat even vehicles equipped with mine rollers. 140 kg of pressure is required to detonate the mine. The Barmine is susceptible to overpressure, being 20% likely to go off per concussion dice applied to it. The Barmine is used by some NATO countries, India, and Kuwait, and some were captured by Iraq during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. This mine is largely made of wood and plastic and is two levels more difficult to detect with mine detectors.

Mk 7

Notes: This is a conventional British Antitank mine. It may be easily neutralized by unscrewing the fuze and replacing it upside down. It is also susceptible to overpressure, being 20% likely to go off per concussion dice applied to it. The Mk 7 requires 150 kg of pressure to set it off. It may be set off by direct pressure or a tilt rod; this rod requires only 30 kg of pressure to detonate the mine. This mine has been extensively used in Africa and was supplied to Mujahidin rebels in Afghanistan, and is also used by NATO.

Ranger Barrier Mine

Notes: This British antipersonnel mine is normally laid in conjunction with the Barmine antitank mine, to keep combat engineers from disabling the Barmine fields. They are also used to rapidly lay defensive minefields, as the Ranger system (normally mounted on a Streaker load carrier vehicle or FV432 armored personnel carrier) can be lay mines at the rate of 1296 mines in 6 minutes. These mines are non-metallic and two levels harder to detect. They are one level harder to defuse without a special arming key. They are totally resistant to overpressure.
