I’m not sure what’s happening here so I don’t know if it’s something missed in the manual.

I form up a 10 sub Allied minelaying TF out of Pearl, ALL sub’s load up with mines. I set the destination to Shortland and undock.

Next turn the TF is en-route to destination and is about 2 hexes out of Pearl, but now there’s no mines on board any of the sub’s.

And there’s no indication that the mines were laid in any of the hexes the TF passed through.

In addition the torpedo load outs are the same as if I was carrying mines.

It happened three times in a row.

I know each sub carries only two mines, but I find hard to believe that an entire TF misplaced all thier mines, these boats aren't that big

It’s a PBEM game ver 1.21 scenario 15

Also you might want to make sure your subs aren't at 1000 ops when you assign them to the mission and send them on their way - if they are, they it might say its loading mines, but it will not as the sub has done everything it can for that turn...

I don't know but he clearly wrote three times in a row so the odds of any of this being user error seem slim.

also make sure that the sub CAN load mines at all...not all subs are mine laying capable

I thought that only sub 019 and 020 could lay mines ?

I am at the office, but you may want to pull up those two subs and see if they say "mines" and than pull up another sub and see if it says the same thing.

I don't understand what you mean by sub 019 and 020. All subs I've played with can be loaded with mines.

O19 and 20 are dedicated minelayers designed by Dutch prewar, before mines were more simply and universally deployed via the torpedoe tubes. Argonaut, RN Porpoise class and Japanese I 121 class are all like this. When loading these with mines, you will see mines in both the dedicated mine shutes and in the tubes.

One thing you hould try. After you've formed the "sub minalyer" TF and assigned the boat(s); but before you give a destination; click on the "replenish from Port" button. You should see a "Loading tyope X Mines" flash message. Then give a destination and
let it sail.

Tried that trick to, subs loaded out just fine, 1 hex away from Pearl and poof all gone mines

0 OP's indicated on aLL subs, NO sys damage on any subs, date is 2/26/42, Pearl is in great shape no damage, MAX supplies (999,000), 1 AS in port No sys damage.

I'm an engineer so I'm pretty ANAL. I'm pretty sure looking that input here I can rule out operator error, unless someone knows something in the manaul (I couldn't find anything to explain it)

Waiting for my turn, the next thing is to try the same trick out of SF and also try a single sub out of pearl.

Any input would be great. I do like my subs and my mines

Careful about upgrading Argonaut, though--she'll lose her mine racks and gain cargo capacity. [:(]
