Based out of Wilhelmshaven for my first patrol with a VIIB (U-51) I was given a patrol grid AM19. So, not thinking, I planned my route through the English Channel and up to AM19.
I got to the entrance to the Channel and sunk a French Tramp Steamer (I guess I wasn't supposed to at that time of the war). Then I encountered a PT boat, an armed trawler and V&W DD. I ended the game there.
I was talking to HunterICX and he advised me not to go any further and sent me 3 maps of the mine fields in and around the Channel. SO, naturally I reversed course and decided to go up and around Scapa Flow to get to AM19.
I opened the SH3 editor the way HunterICX did but I so nothing under the tab Explorer (but he did). How do I get those choices under that tab. I cannot and do not know how to find the mine fields. I certainly don't wish to run into any mines or submarine nets.
Where do I get the maps showing the Mine fields and Sub netting?

Oh yea, I got my old U-51 again so I hope I get to finish the game, or at least get to the 44th patrol with her again. No I do not have the same name nor am I a Kapitänleutnant yet, but I'm not changing the signature, as I'm hopeful to attain that rank again, then I'll change the name.
