Sweeping Mines

How is it done? Is it enough to just send a ship with minesweepers into the field or does it need special orders or something? I have never ran across a minefield yet so I haven't needed the info. Now I do.

Pretty much automatic. Just run your minesweeper into the minefield. Done.

Good. Thanks.

What is that minesweeping button for? I've clicked it and selected my target and . . . nothing. The only way to 'sweep seems to be to send the ships in with a move order and let them figure out what to do themselves.

I tried sending the minesweeper into the minefield and it was destroyed by the mines. The sweep mines button had no effect (that I could see).

I've seen Messages indicating a number of mines were swept. If there are more mines than your sweeper can handle then the ship will take damage and possibly be destroyed.
