Set destination to the port with a left click. Set destination again to the port with a right click. You will see the hex location rather than the port name now. Then change to Lay Mines. Done.

Making re-born this thread.
What does that mean if a Mine Warfare TF, with DM or ML don't have the "Lay Mine" in yellow, but in grey ? Is it a bug of some kind?
Checking the ships themselves, everyone has a load of mine;the port is Pearl (in Stock), so size enough. More than 20000 supply. I set a destination to a nearby hawain island....the DM come back to pearl with their load still aboard.....

Never seen or heard of this problem. If you want to send me a save, I will take a look and tell you what is wrong but I have no idea from the little info supplied.

Thanks for the offer. I cannot send a file for the moment, not being at home with the game, but i will try tonight.

You might run into this (greyed out mine laying option) problem if you actually have not loaded mines... this can occur for a couple of reasons, including (but probably not limited to):

1. Insufficient port size.
2. Insufficient OP points.
3. Insufficient supply at the port (even if size 9).

Check the individual ships to make sure they actually have mines loaded.

Port is Pearl, size 10 in a stock game 1.806. More than 20 000 supplies in port.
Looking at the individual ship (the screen were is detailled it's weapons) i can see the mines loaded (40 or so on a DM).
I will try to send a file of my turn to Yamato Hugger tonight.

Also: this ANNOYING stuff (to say the least) is also happening for a ML in Trincomalee; size 9 port, more than 20 000 supplies, and same thing, the ship have the load of mine, but it get back to home port before unloading mines at the intended destination.......

What about TF type? you need to be in a Minelayer TF ... If you are in Escort - it may not work...

I dont know, I loaded the file you sent (39), typed in the password you sent, clicked on TF 1234 and saw the top pix. I clicked the do not lay mines, and got the bottom pix. Not sure what you are seeing, but thats what I see.

Problem solved with deinstall - reinstall... apparently the installation was corrupt.

[gladiatt]

Thanks to both of you guys for the time given. [:)]

After uninstall and reinstall, it work correctly now.
