TIE Punishers can do the same thing, but I've never seen it go from theoretical to actual table play. It's a fun and silly idea, but Minefield Mapper only drops some of your mines (it doesn't drop all your munitions tokens), and you're investing a whole lot of points in ships that may struggle to deal killing blows on their own. As Mackie pointed out, the foe is quite happy to push through the mines with one ship in front, then start going to town on your fleet.

That said, the mines you have left over can be quite devastating if wielded properly, and your bombers are turreted. So it may be somewhat practical. Just make sure you can proxy so you're not buying 3 Scurrgs for Minefield Mapper. You're already buying 3 Resistance Bomber to do this. :)
