Cluster Mines

The ability to order the deployment of Cluster Mines by air was a basic promotional choice available to all Chinese generals. The mines were taken to their target by a supply aircraft and dropped inside a bomb. When the bomb exploded, the mines would be scattered over a fairly wide area. Mines were invisible to most enemy units, and could stop an armoured attack in its tracks - they were used heavily at key 'chokepoint' areas where enemy forces would be funnelled through a relatively narrow area.
