Manic Morin over on Tank.net had one (122mm
round) planted in the ground 500 meters from the
gate of their compound. The Security Detail saw
the Mujs digging and then put something heavy
into the hole but considered it someone else's
problem (QRF or scouts) since it was outside the
wire. There's a slight problem there with the
gate guards passing the job off to someone else.
