AT-2

Notes: This German antitank mine is scattered from FASCAM rounds fired from the LARS artillery rocket launcher, MLRS, and Skorpion minelayer. It is a shaped charge with an acoustic/magnetic sensor that does not require that the vehicle run directly over the mine with its treads or wheels. When it hits the ground, legs pop out and right the mine. It may be set for self-destruct, and it has an antihandling feature that makes defusing the mine an Impossible roll.

DM-11 Antitank

Notes: This German mine is made almost entirely of molded explosive, strengthened with resin. The only non-explosive part of the mine is the fuse, in a well in the middle, and the handle, on the side. The DM-11 is two levels harder than normal to detect with a mine detector. 150 kg of pressure is required for detonation. The mine may be defused normally, and is only 5% likely per concussion die to be affected by overpressure.

DM-11 APERS

Notes: This small German mine is a toepopper. It affects only the person triggering it, and directs all blast and fragment damage into the legs. It is a minimal-metal mine, one level harder to detect by mine detectors. If one has the safety sleeve or a reasonable facsimile, the mine can be disarmed. It is very resistant to overpressure, being only 1% likely to detonate per concussion dice applied to it. 5 kg of pressure is required to detonate the DM-11 APERS. The DM-11 APERS is in use by NATO and several African nations.

DM-31

Notes: This is a German bounding antipersonnel mine, which, unusually, does not have a facility for tripwire detonation. The main charge detonates at 1.2 meters height, directing twice the normal number of fragments into the chest and abdomen. The mine may be disarmed at normal chances. It is unaffected by overpressure. 8 kg of pressure is required for detonation. This mine is used by NATO and Angola.

PARM-1

Notes: This is a German off-route mine. Over 50,000 copies were produced for the German Army by 1994. The projectile is l fast and has high penetration. The PARM-1 may be fired by a tripwire, a pressure plate, or by command detonation. The batteries supply power for 40 days of continuous operation, after which the mine no longer functions. The range is 40 meters. Hitting a vehicle is an Average: Grenade Launcher or Easy: Combat Engineer task. The mine may be disarmed normally before this time, but is affected by overpressure.

PARM-2

Notes: This is essentially a PARM-1 fitted with an infrared sensor that increases accuracy and range, as well as an improved warhead with greater penetration. The sensor can function and accurately attack vehicles moving at up to 80 kmh (Combat Move 111), and has a range of 100 meters. The batteries last for 30 days of continuous operation. The PARM-2 may skip up to 9 vehicles in a line before firing; this is determined when the mine is set. The PARM-2 may also be fired by command detonation.

PM-60

Notes: This is one of the hundreds of thousands of antitank mines manufactured by the former East Germany before unification. It was used by the Germans when supplies of newer mines ran short. It is a huge mine, plastic in construction, and one level harder to detect. The mine may be booby-trapped using an auxiliary fuse well. The mine must be turned upside down to disarm, so it is often found with antihandling booby traps. Many countries in the Bloc still use this mine.

PPM-2

Notes: This plastic antipersonnel mine was produced by the former East Germany, and Germany inherited hundreds of thousands when that country unified. Although plastic-bodied, it contains a fair amount of metal, and may be detected at normal chances. Once armed, the mine cannot be disarmed. It is susceptible to overpressure, and is 25% likely to detonate per dice of concussion applied. 13 kg of weight is required for detonation. This mine was pulled out of storage when the Twilight War began, and is also used by Cambodia and some African nations.
