Day 165: Watch Your Step! Mine Mayhem in Ash Fields

By [PRESS] Joshua Patterson

Day 165, War 119

Ash Town, Ashfields

Colonial logistics personnel are advised to be careful when walking around in Ash Fields, following multiple incidents on Days 165-167 involving the new Crow's Foot mine, a deadly anti-infantry explosive charge.

57 Colonials were confirmed to have died in the terrible events. An unknown Colonial Legionnaire rigged the Ash Town town hall with multiple crow's foot mines placed on each entrance and exit. Freshly spawned-in soldiers would then proceed to attempt to exit the town hall and explode for seemingly no reason.

The belligerent was not seen and remains anonymous for now. Some took lightly to the event and an anonymous Collie stated "There are more mines here than on the front lines."

And another saying, "Who placed infantry mines on the Town Hall?"

Garnering a response of "not me, but sounds like something I'd do."

However, others were not so happy about their explosive plight. Since the incident, a PSA was issued stating insurance did not cover friendly kills involving accidental (or not) deaths related to the new infantry mine. Remember to stay safe on the battlefield or the backline and keep an eye out for the crow's foot!

Editor's note: the crow's foot mine can deal a small amount of damage to unarmoured vehicles such as jeeps or trucks so it is advised to avoid them even when driving.
