When fighting SD you cant chaffsweep that easily!

If the minefield is centered at a planet and detonated, and you chaffsweep and attack the same turn, you still get damage from the detonation regardles of how many chaff you use to crash!


No, that means you just didn't use enough chaff to eliminate all the mines. Use more chaff next time. Chaff sweeping against an SD just means you need more chaff (hence more fleets). Heavies and speed bumps are very easily hit by chaff at high warp, which makes it that much easier to chaff sweep.



Jesus saves.
Allah forgives.
Cthulhu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich.
