Bombs and mines

By Grimhorus, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I was just thinking are you able to drop a bomb as you reveal your movement dial then drop a mine as an action in the same turn? I know the FAQ says only one bomb a turn but as one is an action and one doesn't would that make a difference?

I asked the same basic question a while back and found that the answer is no. They are both considered bombs, so only 1 per turn.

And it has nothing to do with one being an action and one being dial-associated.

It is also worth mentioning that the term "mine" doesn't actually mean anything to the game, it is just a commonly used term by the fans because the names of most of the action drop bombs include that word.
