Having just tried out another lhs.g game, I simply cannot see how the mines
are fueled.  They are born with no ammo, will neither 't'ake any from the
engineer that made them (or from any other unit sharing their hex), nor can
such units 'g'ive them anything (and I've just tested this out at length).
They do not happily resupply themselves from nearby units or towns, as I now
understand other units are supposed to do - and so they drop off the map 1
turn in 4!  How can I save my mines!!?  Am I missing something about
resupply?
