Or how about a foxhole graphic with sandbags around the perimiter of the hole?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Unfortunately the CM engine uses the same BMP for the foxhole and craters (from artillery). So during artillery strikes you would get mysterious sandbagged foxholes appearing on the landscape.

Large caliber artillery makes bigger holes that use the same texture as the foxhole. I found this out the hard way by doing exactly what this thread asks, way back when I first got the game. It was both mortifying and hilarious to watch a rocket barrage lay down a nice pattern of pretty sandbag-lined holes...

Too bad foxholes don't have different graphics, because then you could do foxholes with overhead cover, like all soldiers tried to use for protection against airbursts.

Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.

And pray my body will be found, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing.
