And that *is* the problem.
You can make him target your heaviest fleet, but move it so that he can't catch it, whilst your lighter fleet remains untargetted and can go where it pleases - usually past the ships that would normally have blown it up.

Ah. So in my case... where I had 10 sweepers... split away 4 of them as individual fleets... and 2 fleets of 3 ships that went to two nearby planets to sit until the next turn... technically those fleets of 3 are heavier, so they would have been followed, leaving the lone sweepers to do their job unmolested. So it would have been better for me to split those sets of three, even if they were going to the same location. So then the one counter sweeper would have had to randomly pick one of the 10 sweepers, and might have picked one of the two near the planet whose minefield I was trying to sweep. Not that it would have made a difference.

Thank you. I think I understand not what the REAL problem is.
