I had to ask ChatGPT to summarize what you are trying to say, the AI said your saying:

The poster is expressing concern that adding mine-laying drones to a wargame would drastically slow down gameplay, much like real-world conflicts (e.g., Ukraine) where mines and drones have made battles more about attrition and slow progress than maneuver warfare. They compare it to Major League Baseball's pitch clock, which shortened games and improved engagement—implying the opposite effect would happen if mine-laying drones were added to the game.

They explain their fear that players (especially the AI) would focus on flooding the map with mines, leading to longer, slower, more tedious games with less tactical flexibility. This could lead to frustration and potentially drive players away from the game.

Their main point: while modern warfare includes drones and mines, bringing that fully into the game could hurt the gameplay experience by shifting it from fast-paced tactical maneuvering to slow, defensive attrition warfare—which they feel would be a bad design decision.
