Captain Sonar
If a torpedo lands exactly on a mine, does the mine explode?
Rulebook wording 'it is destroyed' is ambiguous and an older designer post conflicts, so this is an interpretation.

Probably not. The rulebook says a torpedo that explodes on the same dot as a mine (yours or the enemy's) "is destroyed", which most players read as the mine being removed with no chain reaction, so only the torpedo's damage applies. The wording is ambiguous, and a 2018 designer post said a mine on the impact spot does explode.
