Hi Mac,
I saw your bug report. There could be several reasons for this. For example the minesweeper could have entered and then left again or one of the ships had a very big component that sucked in all the damage from the small mines without being destroyed.
Regarding connections: 2 friend of mine in my PBEM games are on 56K modems and it is no problem at all. The files I send you tend to be 500kb big, the files you send me are usually around 20kb. Remember, download time is not the limiting factor in a 48 hours game. We are not playing Counter Strike.
