Michael Dorosh Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Has anyone tried to use roadblocks as a subsitute for AT ditches, especially with regards to historical scenarios? I want to simulate an action where the ditches not only served as an impediment to movement, but also as shelter by enemy infantry. Will a roadblock in open ground confer much concealment or protective cover to infantry behind it? Will a row of them viewed obliquely destroy LOS? An actual trench would not, of course. I've also tried setting a really deep row of terrain squares which seems to work fine - the infantry can still fight out of them, despite being 10 or 15 metres deep but was just wondering if anyone came up with a more elegant way of simulating them.

Clubfoot Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 If you're interested, check out the scenario "Sheep's Clothing" at Manx's Combat Missions for my take on AT ditches. Simply a shallow (5m) recess painted with the rough tile. It's functional and aesthetically pleasing to boot. Clubfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 I don't think roadblocks have any cover or concealment bonuses. Do a search, I've seen this talked about before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
