Topic: Mines in Nova

Are mines removed when they attack?

No. The only way to remove mines is to attack them (p.21).

Thanks!
I didn't see that in the rules and wondered if they just disapeared that way. In my current vassal game, a cruiser, just before exploding, sowed 10 mines behind him over two hexes. And there is a damaged destroyer 4 hexes away from mthose mines, speeding at 9 but with its thrust rating now reduced to 5, and destined to make a rendez-vous with them.
Woh, that promised to be ugly...

Another question.
Ships are triggering mines. Do fighters act as ship in that regard?

Re: Mines in Nova

No answer to my question?  :cry:

Re: Mines in Nova

Yes, fighters trigger mines in the same manner as ships.

Re: Mines in Nova

Thanks. Knowing that means I will have to avoid placing fighters among mines which I did...

Re: Mines in Nova

A corrolary question: If a stack of 6 fighters is moving through mines, do they suffer one attack per mine, or 6 attacks per mine?

In other words, does a stack is treated as a singe ship of does each fighter is treated as a ship?
