Weird... blew up during training?

You will find the mine defences of Kiel were laid (in game terms) from Jan 38 and remained until Dec 45.

Ouch... I don't think even Field Marshall Haig would order his men to conduct training exercises in the middle of a minefield.

So there are mines in the training missions? And no mention of them in the SH3 User Manual (which is useless, granted; still)?

Thank you Ubisoft for making the game easy for newbies. I am not sure I would have stayed with the game if I had gotten blown up in training.

Apologies, let me make myself clear....I was talking abot the SH3 game with the GWX3 supermod added.

There is a page you can pull down (from I think the periscope station) in the upper left hand corner of your screen that shows you where the defensive mine fields are laid out at all the ports. This is in GWX 3.0 Gold.

You might want to check that against your position where you went BOOM.

I think Jimbuna can confirm this as well.

It's in the F5 Navigation Map screen.
