Problem with training mission 2 (german)

[Mech_Donald]

In the 2nd training mission I am supposed to lay 10 anti-tank mines in the given area. An area before the bridge is marked because an attack by the Russians is imminent there. Now I have paved the road and the whole area with mines, but the game still shows 0/10 mines laid.
Unfortunately, there is no Youtube video anywhere where I can see where my mistake lies. Can someone help me here and explain where I should lay the mines? Not in the marked area, of course.

Did you place them one at a time or did you right click, hold and drag 10 as a whole? I'll go back and check after this but I think they need to be placed one at a time. I'll be back.

I think you also have to dig foxholes/trenches to complete the "prepare defences" part.

You can press the "o" for Oscar key to see the objective. clicking on the > icon next to it will take you to the spot on the map for that objective. If more than one location is involved this can be misleading because it only shows you one place.

I went back in and repeated the mission and everything worked fine for me.
First you have to plant 10 anti-personnel mines inside the Yellow Zone, Then you have to plant 10 Anti-Tank mines inside the Red Zone. I planted each mine one at a time and the mission went off w/o a hitch.

"Saxhorn" must be thinking of another mission that's in a Campaign. The mission here didn't require any foxholes or trenches. Tho, you did have to dig 2 foxholes right after your truck hit a landmine at the beginning of the tutorial mission, nothing afterwards.

Maybe, you grabbed the wrong mines and planted 10 AT mines in the yellow zone instead of the required 10 AP mines for the Yellow Zone. Remember Yellow = 10 AP Red = 10 AT.

I hope this helps you get through the mission.
Good Luck and happy hunting.

Thank you for your tips. I'll try them out and report back. :)

Edit: That worked very well. I did not pay attention to AP / AT Mines. :)

Yeah, after I re-visited that scenario, I kind of figured you were putting the cart before the horse because you didn't mention anything about successfully laying down the Anti-Personnel mines as a prerequisite before receiving the assigned area to place the Anti-Tank mines. I'm glad to have helped you get over the hump in the road. Enjoy!!!

Yes, I was a bit too hasty and had not read carefully that these are supposed to be anti-personnel mines. So clearly my mistake.
Thanks again for your quick and kind help! :)
