thanks all for that many answers...

i have been thinking about that stuff for quite a while, and thought i had found a new brilliant trick:

setting your enemy to friends when you think he is going to attack and crash-sweeping. so he would not be able to crash sweep and end up in a detonating fiels, losing all his chaff,
below b-52 bombers and small ships... facing your (also damaged) fleet and new build chaff, which makes quite a difference...

a wise man now told me that crashsweeping works if the attacker sets the defender to "enemy", regardless of the defender setting the attacker to "friend".

(hey joe!)
Cool

i did not yet test that, as in my testbeds it worked, but the attacker had the other one always set to "neutral" and ended up unable to sweep...

anyway... all my tests have shown that there is no way to chaff
sweep a minefield an avoid detonation in the center the same turn. so an attacker must "beam sweep" the minefield the turn before he attacks... at least thats what i am believing right now...

when i got more time i need to do some more tests to be really sure...
