They may also be copyrighted :hmmm:....I'm not entirely sure :oops:

The Germand did indeed drop mines from aircraft, but mainly from subs and Schnellbootes and U-boats, but nothing like in the numbers the Allies did.

Thanx for the info, matey:salute: Btw; is the minefields in GWX historical accurate? maybe someone could make a map over those minefields. Doesnt need to be 100% accurate, but it could say "possible minefield" or something, with some schratched out area.. :yeah:

If they are from who I think they are ;), then yes they are. They are also still MOD property, so we don't have them do we?:arrgh!:
@ Seth

Sure, people can make a map of minefields. Just open up the SCR layer in the mission editor and you'll see them.

I passed south of Faroes many times, blissfully unaware of that minefield. I think I'll go north the next time. :DL

Best to be on the surface, but that in itself brings it's own risks.

Thnx, Jim & Dan...Appreciated! :yep::up:
As you probably have guessed, i've had some....lets say..really close encounters with some of those minefields..:damn:.. But nowing their exact location will be too "boring", if you catch my drift. Would be cool to have something like "possible minefield in area", just to keep you on your toes.. :sunny:

Speaking for myself, Ignorance is bliss. I kinda wish I had not seen that map. I *used* to travel that area with no concerns.
Great, more stress, just what a Kaluen needs. :o

If you were an Oil Shake you could try sending one of your wives in front in a midget sub.:rotfl:
