Now AI Player (1) makes first contact with Player (3) Minefield; about 15 turns after AI Players (1) agreement with Player (2), 6 Systems away from Players (1) Home World. AI player (1) and (3) almost immediately have hostilities.

With this scenario how do you think, AI player (1) will use his Mine Sweepers...

Very intriguing question. I don't know the answer without testing it. But the test could be set up by playing all three players and then turning on the complete ai of the one that was set up.

Either way, once the first ship enters that square and does not blow up then it will most definately clear the minefield marker and move on to the next one.
