I'm not very bright, so please help me understand how to make engineers plant satchel charges and/or mines in a clear 1-2-3 step tutorial. Okay, say I have a platoon of engineers, I want them to mine a road in anticipation of advancing tanks, how would I have the engineers plant mines; additionally, how many turns if any, does it take before the mines are armed?

Simple answer is you dont its not possible in the timeframe of the game.
Dig a hole then place the mine & cover it carefully so it trigers, conceal iit so its not obvious & thus avoided.
Laying mines takes time a hex is 50m across & a road has to look untampered.
Its another unrealistic feature of WaW, defend an urban or wooded area by seeding everywhere with mines in a few minutes.

If you want to place minefields during the game, there is the option to purchase FASCAM minefields as artillery asset - and cluster munitions can occasionally leave unexploded munitions that form a sort of a minefield.

And if you want to have your engineers blowing up bridges, you can always use the Z-fire key to use them to attack an adjacent hex.
