Default Re: newby\'s guide to ship and fleet strategy

"Will this work the same way against a human opponent? I don't think so. Anyone know for sure?"

Won't STOP them, not if they're willing to take losses (and even a single minesweeper makes this idea worthless) but mines are nothing to sneeze at.

The only hitch I can see is if ships automaticlly stop after hitting mines. Even then, with only 5 mines you can't possibly cover every approach route.
