I read in Beery's thread that you need to be within 100nm of the marker for 48 hours to successfully complete the objective. However other threads I've searched puts the figure down to 50nm, or the time to 24 or 72 hours.

Which is the correct one? I'm running TM 1.7.4 on top of a 1.04 patched game.

Thanks.
Depends on your orders. "deploy to" means you just need to get within range of the objective (about 50nm), and you will then immediately get the automatic new orders to engage shipping. You must sink 10,000 tons to complete that objective, but you can cruise anywhere to do it, now that you are deployed to your area.

If the orders were to "patrol" an objective area, then you would have had to stay for the required 48hrs within the required range (100nm or whatever it is).
