Yes, definitely minefield. I've encountered it with 6 runners, none of whom
have
demolitions, and all of whom had body of 5 or less. Everyone dies, and
there's
nothing I can do about it. Since then, I put 4 copies of Ajax in my deck, and
I'm very cautious about going somewhere before I've looked with recon.

you all have said a mouthfull The first time I hit minefeilds I had 6 runners
and my luck was such that I had 1 (one) runner survive then the second card of
the combo hits ..."Hey some one left their brieff...." BOOM !! yeah you
guessed it Booby trap.
GOD did I get pissed all six runners lost to my own stupidity. I made Noahs
night that night he couldn't stop laughing...but these are the breaks when you
run the shadows, eh chummers
