I have a few questions about how the rules are meant to work for mines.
(1) What is the density of minefield strips when laid by 'mine-laying' ships using this special action during the game ?
(2) How do you increase this minefield density ?
(3) Please expand the explanation for mine damage - it says a 4DD AP attack, resolved as a Torpedo attack. But Armour is irrelevant for torpedoes in WW1, so what does the AP count against ? Is this intended to be that the ship has struck one or more mines - Roll 4 dice vrs ship target number, each hit counts for damage as per a torpedo strike ? Or is this a single mine, with 4d6 damage points and critical hit effects as per a torpedo attack (one per 5 points of damage ?
Clarification on above appreciated ...
