First its around the spawn, then base, which means the same,
No it doesn't mean the same.
While you can "spawn" out of the vehicle hanger(base)
you can also "spawn" at 1 of the actual, in the game, SPAWN POINTS!
Be it NE, or N or any other compass heading allowed by the current location.
It would be wise grasshopper to actually learn the game before "rolling your eyes"
at an idea which actually has some merit.
The idea of mining the enemies spawn point before starting a GV run to
there town and base appeals to me very much.
Certainly mines were laid in WW2, and while i do not know how many GVs
fell victim to them the idea merits some discussion.
