Because mine layers are level1 vehicles, this tactic really becomes useful. Make a mine layer, and have it go near the enemy's base right at the beginning of the game. Next, lay medium damage mines in and/or around metal deposits you believe your opponent would build extractors on. I have had this work many times for me, taking out enemy construction units as well as what they were going to produce. Its fun to watch them approach a deposit, and then explode.
