Dramatic SFB: Hidden mines

[Ben Sh]

I was just surprised to find out that the campaign was using hidden mine
placement.

This is an optional rule that I have never seen included in any SFB game in
the 35 odd years I have played.

It is, imho, an absolutely terrible rule. It requires tracking every hex
every opponent's ship has passed through and the turn/impulse it left that
hex. Ugggg!!!

I propose that this rule be removed from the campaign rules.

It adds nothing to the "space combat" game this is supposed to be. The game
is already extremely complicated, so much so that it is hard to get a new
player to play. Why make it worse for so little tactical gain?

For now, I request that any opponents I play and I refrain from hidden mine
placement during our games, as, of course, I will.

Thanks for reading my rant.
