Now let's think that one through a bit shall we? The flags represent 'important' spots on the battlefield. It's what both sides are fighting over. The attacker knows these when he goes in and the defender knows them when he plans his defense (now I'm talking about the in game commanders, not their alter-ego's behind the screen :smoke:). So it makes every sense to defend them well, including by mines. I would find it very odd to always exclude VH hexes.
In fact, mining VH's deters a far worse gamey tactic and that is the last-turn VH grab using fast units by the second player (if that's the attacker).
And if it's a no-brainer for the defender to mine them it's also a no brainer for the attacker not to blunder into those hexes without a care...
