Is there any way of finding out which ports have how many mines? Have i missed something?

Thanks

Mike

You have to actually click on the port.

Defensive mines are listed on the top center of the screen.

Sorry

I meant is there a way of finding out how many mines are in the pool at each port, that can be loaded onto minelayers?

You can actually go to the production pool menu, which is a pain.
Since you need to know the mine type.

Complete and utter mystery to me in AE, mining was a breeze in WITP.

You have to look at your ship first which mines are needed, then you have to check in the total pool and you have to know which nationality of course. If you have the mine in the pool you can replenish it at each of the nationality�s port if it either is big enough or has enough naval support if not big enough itselve.

You can find a list in the manual regarding mine type and size of port required to reload the mines.

And I can garrauntee with the stock game that it will never be enough to actually make the use of Mine-layers possible.

Even in my PBEM game my opponent and I agreed to a 400% increase in mine production so we could actually reload a mine-layer now and then.
