Odd Minefield Behavior

[Cipher7071]

I guess I should have mentioned that this is a PBW game, so yes, the game is simultaneous. According to the designs I've seen, he does not yet have contra terrene engines, but he may have selected populsion experts. I'd need to to check on that.

One of the things I don't like about 1.49 games is that the order of play goes according to the order the game is joined, regardless of circumstances. I suppose that could be the culprit in part. The other player says that 2 of his ships, including the sweeper arrived before the minelayer, and the ship that did get destroyed arrived after the mines were laid, but it still seems as though either the mines should have been swept on that turn, or a second ship destroyed on the following turn. It looked like those ships all came from the same sector.
