Re: How do mines work
Specifically the answer to your question would be 3. The don't all hit one ships at a time (1), or split up and evenly hit each ship in the fleet (2). What they do is more or less random. Each mine will target a ship in the fleet at random and hit it. Some ships will get more than there share of hits and be destroyed, If the fleet is big enough and the minefield is small enough some ships could actually make it through undamaged while others will be totally destroyed.
That part is actually pretty realistic. The magic comes in in that they never miss, are never duds, and the entire minefield will expend itself agains the fleet, unless it runs out of targets first.
