mj12games.com/forum → Starmada → Rules Question: Mines
In a PBEM game I am playing we had a flight of seekers fly through a minefield. When a flight of seekers enters a mined hex, is the roll for hits made once for each flight? or once for each seeker? So, the flight had 5 seekers and passed through 3 mined hexes. How many rolls are we making in the first hex?
The rules refer to an "element" entering a mined hex. I take that to mean a ship is an element and a flight is an element.
Thanks in advance!

Yes. So you would make one roll per flight.
Thank you for the prompt reply!
Once I saw my worthy opponent's force in this one, I decided to use my mines as a screen against his scary seekers. Hasn't worked to eliminate the threat but I think it is an effective tactic against fleets that use a lot of flights of any kind (strikers and fighters would risk losses or be delayed by having to go around minefields).
This rule, and the (Size+1)^2 factor in the point cost for fighter flights, serve to encourage larger flights ... and thus reduce the clutter on the board.
