I've seen MML "duels" in a few games where the fastest detonation wins...

Hmmm, could you please elaborate on that for me? Is this another OOE issue where the lower player number has an advantage, or is it more complex than that?


Nothing special. Just getting them into one of your minefields before you end up in one of theirs. Higher tech standard layers give an edge since you can lay larger minefields (or at least lay them quicker.)

And player order won't save you since if you're in the detonating field after movement you're gonna get it regardless of player order.

I just found it a bit interesting to watch (it was a team game) since it was a sort of dodging ballet without a standard beam being fired. Didn't last long since there were sweepers deployed by both sides soon afterwards and the skirmishing became rather standard from then on.
