-Sea Mine hitchance
+Sea mine hit chance
 The chance of a ship hitting a mine at sea is (mines/(mines+20)). (For
 example, with 20 mines, the chance of hitting one is 20/40 = 50%) The
 damage is dependent upon the size of the ship and the spot that the
 mine hits.  (see \*Qinfo Damage\*U).
 
 
-Land Mine Hitchance
+Land mine hit chance
 The chance of a land unit hitting a land mine is mines/(mines+35).
