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!


I had no problem crash sweeping a suprise minefield by Alien in Trans game. (Being HE I had cheaper crash sweepers) I did it quick and lazy with the last bit of chaff going in orbit to make sure my line wasn't missing the planet by a ly. (Most went past planet at warp 10)


If the field wasn't set to detonate you won't have had a problem indeed.

Only an SD like Aliens can suprise help a friend by gating in and throwing up a big minefield (that overwhelms the sweepers) the turn before you want to attack. (Move and lay same turn).


Why "only an SD like Aliens"? Any SD can gate in and throw up a big minefield ... Confused
