Well, why not throw away damage altogether and have mines sap a stack's movement points or supplies? Or at least introduce mine-only components that do so, via high-level mine research. Said components could also (via suitable handwaving ) make the mine more/completely resistant to sweeping.

That would be very nice, but it would require new abilities/damage types that can only be introduced be MM. Therefore send your idea to them.
