Mines are awesome versus infantry. Suppressed infantry is dead infantry.

Only if there are units around to finish them off. Besides, elite allied infantry can break supression, not to mention is that the whole idea behind mines is area denial rather than a guard post.

If you've forced the infantry to waste their fire-up, then that's extremely effective. Now, that infantry is easy to kill with an hmg.

Now, you're just "doin' it wrong"

The way you use mines (for maximum effectiveness) is in this way - with units for support. Without supporting units, they're not all that effective, but remember, they're force multipliers, not your entire force in one. They cripple armor and make them easy prey for AT weapons, and suppress infantry, leaving them easy pickings for your infantry. The best use (IMO) is put them on your flanks. There they're unlikely to be hit by artillery, and most likely to come in handy diffusing a quick enemy flank.
