General comment:
Better instructions with explosive weapons options for game play to achieve mission completion are needed in BF1 for Xbox One (i.e., in Avanti Savona, I spent hours trying to figure out how to destroy the artillery guns to complete the third mission objective. There was no explanation about how dynamite sticks interacted with the hand-held twist detonator. It took an online ‘YouTube’ video to answer my question. This should have been included in the game pop-up menu during the mission!
I haven't figured out how to use the trip mines yet. Maybe I'll stumble onto to that solution as well!

About trip mine, it's pretty simple - you just plant it with what you have mapped for shooting. Once you do that, after a couple of seconds the trip mine will deploy a cable on its own (which will go more or less in the direction you were looking to). If enemy walks over that cable, the trip mine will explode.
