major disaster

As a defender I can make a trail into a forest that allows my armour to surprise unsuspecting attacking forces. Although certainly not unrealistic some might consider this to be gamey as movement is usually restricted in woods/pine forest terrain and so players that do not know about this loop hole will feel cheated. Of course if everyone knows then it is probably not an issue.

Woods are unpassable for a reason. Simply putting some metal wire down, which can bend...tanks can't, should not change the tiles base behaviour. It can be crucial if the defender wants to ensure a particular route is unpassable using road blocks and such. One mistake with the wire and it is all undone.

I performed a search and didn't find anything. Barbed wire allows armour to cross normally unpassable terrain. I laid some barb wire across some woods end to end (each barb wire section touched the ajoining one) with some wire sticking out on an "open" ground tile. I was then able to move my armour across the woods. It appears the Barb wire (which can be crossed normally by vehicles) overides the ground tiles attributes underneath. Is this meant to happen? BFC please fix or do sumfink.
