Mines - Did they use mines? Or anything that could be used as mines?

For the time period, they do not use anything close to resembling mines. I can not think of anything period they could represent off the top of my head.

Don't know if this has been said before as I haven't read all of the posts here, but you COULD create Mines as being barrels of gunpowder. You could say that there were rowing boats among the "mines" with crewmen armed with crossbows with flame arrows, shooting those in the barrels to detonate them. OK, it's not historically accurate, but they COULD have done it with the technology at the time
