Alsetex ACPR
Notes: This is a French minimal-metal antitank mine, which may be laid mechanically or manually. The mine may be easily disarmed; indeed, the ACPR is meant to me recovered and re-laid elsewhere if not used. It may be re-set up to 5 times before it's arming becomes permanent and it must be totally defused and the arming mechanism replaced. This mine has almost no metal and is two levels more difficult to detect with a mine detector. It fuse is blast-resistant, and the ACPR is only 1% likely to detonate per die of concussion applied.

Alsetex M-51 MACI
Notes: This is a largely conventional French antitank mine. Three fuses are available: a conventional pressure fuse, a tilt-rod, and a "tentacle" fuze, with wide arms to increase the surface area over which the mine will activate. The mine may be booby-trapped with the auxiliary fuse well at the bottom of the mine. The M-51 is a plastic mine and is two levels harder to detect. With both pressure fuses, the operating force required is 300 kg.

Alsetex M-61
Notes: This is a French antipersonnel stake mine. The mine may be easily disarmed if the safety cap is present; otherwise, allow normal disarming chances. The mine is non-metallic and is two levels harder to detect. 15 kg of pressure on the detonator is required for detonation. Another version of this mine, the M-63, has an antihandling device and will detonate if lifted.

Alsetex MAPED F1
Notes: This French directional antipersonnel is that country's counterpart to the US Claymore. It can be command detonated or, as is usually the case, initiated by tripwire. A pressure plate, connected to the mine by wire, may also be used. It may be disarmed normally, but is unaffected by overpressure.

Giat MIACAH F1
Notes: This is a large French off-route mine. It may be detonated by a tripwire, infrared sensor, acoustic sensor, or a time delay fuse. The mine is not affected by overpressure, and can distinguish between different-sized targets (as set when emplaced). The sensor must be disabled or the tripwire disconnected before the mine is neutralized, which is Difficult: Combat Engineer. The MIACAH is known to be in use by the French and British, and may be used by other NATO forces.

HPD-1
Notes: This French antitank mine is also in service with at least one NATO country (probably Belgium). It may be laid manually or mechanically. The mine has a magnetic fuse that detonates it when a mass of metal at least equivalent to a motorcycle passes over it. It may be accidentally detonated 50% of the time when a mine detector is passed over it, or 10% of the time if even a knife blade probes it. The mine is not affected by overpressure, and is one level more difficult to defuse.

MI AP DV 59
Notes: This is a small French mine of the toepopper type. It affects only the person triggering it, and directs all blast and fragment damage into the legs of the victim. It is sometimes known as the M-59, or Inkstand (due to its resemblance to an inkwell). It may be easily disarmed by removing the fuze, but is only 10% likely to detonate per dice of concussion applied to it. It is a plastic mine, so it is two levels harder to detect unless a special metal ring is clipped to it to allow easy detection. 5 kg or pressure is required to detonate the mine. This mine is used by the French and by Angola and Mozambique.
