I don't think it was ever implemented, but I think the developers wanted the the AMc to sit in port, and self sortie if a minefield was laid at the home port.
This is exactly how to use them. Yes, it works, all you need is to have one in port. It'll activate when needed sweep the minefield and deactivate all behind the scenes.
Most of the small vessels start with very low crew EXP and few have good skippers. I prefer to put my AMcs in a LMS TF on patrol so that their experience can climb. The flagship of the TF gets a skipper with decent naval skills but low aggression (because I need the higher aggression ones for combat ships). I would not be surprised if higher experience is tied to detecting new minefields (with a die roll of course).ORIGINAL: wwengr
I recently started a campaign game again as Allied player vs AI. The only time I have seen mines removed are by minesweeping and local minesweeping TF's without a patrol zone and React = 0. This does not preclude TF's with patrol zones working. The large majority of mine don't have patrol orders. Nor does it preclude mines being removed by minesweepers disbanded in a port. I haven't watched for that. The conclusion: minesweeping TF's without patrol orders will remove mines.

Excellent post.
But one class still eludes me after a decade and a half of playing the game and umpteen times through the game manual:
How do I use a AGC?

They are used for the PT Boats and the MTBs to reload torpedoes.
Yes, but the AGC must NOT unload the HQ - it stays on the ship which has radios and plotting rooms to track how the landings are going and coordinate movement of landing craft in waves. And the HQ itself must be an "Amphibious Force HQ".ORIGINAL: btd64
You load amphibious assault hqs on them. The hq can then apply its bonus to the assault....GP

; Julia ChildAre you sure this is working? I tested this sometime back and confirmed it was NOT working and I don't recall that Michael ever addressed this. Does anyone have an update note where it was fixed? I've only ever gotten them to work by using them in an active TF ....ORIGINAL: rustysi
