Spider Mines

Defensive Tactics
There are two ways to avoid getting blown up by spider mines.


 * Move Really Fast. Mines do have a maximum speed, and if you've built up a good head of steam, it's quite possible to zoom right past 'em. If you're going fast enough, they'll chase you for a little bit, and then fall dormant again when you've left their tracking range.  This is ideal, because it usually leaves them dormant in a much less important location than they were originally placed.
 * Send the Fullback First. Let another player go in front of you.  Fullbacks are especially good for this, as they have much more staying power than a Forward or a Halfback.  Throw a fullback into a mine- and defender-laden chokepoint to mix things up, and it becomes a lot easier to zip through it unmolested.
