obstacles ?

[EricM 2404]

It would be cool if there was some kind of expert ruling on obstacles,
maybe they could treat the pillbox as a transport, instead of cover at +1

treating tank obstacles as cover would please some people.

for minefields on a roll of one score two successes or two hits whichever is worse.

Huh?? I don't get it. How is a pillbox going to transport anything?

I wouldn't mind seeing rules in which units actually need to be present in the location to place obstacles. For example: an infantry unit uses its action in the assault phase to lay down barbed wire instead of magically beaming it there before the battle.

:cool:

Pillbox transporter. Beam one soldier anywhere safely on the map.

I thought that would be obvious to everybody. Geez.

LOL your right it was so obvious I missed it. ;)

I'm not quite following you on the pillbox "beaming mechanism" there Eric. :) You get enough sleep last night?

I don't think tank obstacles giving cover to infantry is too much of a stretch.
I love the minefield rule though. It makes people think again about just rolling through...2 hits on a 60+ piece with a 2 point piece is nice! Even if it only happens what...16% of the time or something like that? We actually played with this rule (plus the mines locations were hidden in a way from the other team) and the mine took out a jeep. Not great but still more realistic than saying it has a flat tire or is scared.

They are transports in name only!
The SA transport, and no I did not get enough sleep
