Topic: Mines vs. Minesweeping

Jim is a dork; I can't believe he missed this one until now... smile

According to the rules, both minesweeping and mine detonation happen in the Combat Phase-- thus making minesweeping impossible (since all actions in the Combat Phase are simultaneous).

So, a simple fix needs to be made. The first sentence in section C.18.1 should read:

C.18.1 wrote:

Mines are detonated in the End Phase, before new mines are deployed.

Re: Mines vs. Minesweeping

I accept full responsibility for this, if only we had playtested more.  I apologize for failing you all, I will now go self-flagellate until such time as my penance is complete.

just call me little euglena.

p.s. I've updated the FAQ/errata

Re: Mines vs. Minesweeping

Could be worse, I've been playing it wrong since...forever?  Always did sweeps first before weapon fire/detonations.  Never even noticed the problem...
