I think what you are looking for is "Bolotomy".  It's probably available at
the bolo archive and on info-mac in the game/bolo directory.

I think IBL should be moved to a night and time which do not conflict with
sitting on the couch, drinking beer and watching football.

Jolo has it, but he won't give it to anyone.  Send him lots of e-mail
asking about it and maybe he will let you have it.

The key to using mines in a hidden mine game is to create the illusion that
there are more mines hidden than there actually are.  If your opponent
comes across a bunch of mines while approaching one of your bases, he has
to think twice about sending his man in to spike, etc., without first
checking for mines.  A few key patches of mines here and there placed so
that they do not also impede your own avenue of attack can cause your
opponent to be overly cautious, possibly even mining himself into a corner. 
The important thing is to not spend too much time loading up on and laying
mines when you could be doing something more constructive, but to lay just
enough here and there to plant a seed of doubt in your opponent's mind. 
Successful application of this tactic usually evokes a response of "HEY!!! 
WHAT'S WITH ALL THE F***ING MINES!!!"

PC Bolo will be exactly the same as Mac Bolo with the exception of the
ability to build trane trax.
