James Crowley Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 and anti tank ditches for that matter? My impression was that corduroy roads were vital in the swampy regions of Russia and they were certainly slated to be in the game. Perhaps they were more vital in the logistical sense but given the virtual absence of roads in Russia, they would have been a nice touch. Useful maybe for linking trench systems and defensive positions (around Leningrad for instance). Speaking of roads, or the lack of them, what on earth is the use of including road-blocks, which would have had scant effectiveness overall, and excluding anti-tank ditches which were used extensively? These, too, were scheduled to be in the game. Just wondering what happened to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 1st Hussars Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Roadblocks are quite useful in Urban battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they had much impact on tactical movement. If you are advancing, you wouldn't have had time or opportunity to lay them on the battlefield. If you were retreating, you would have made sure to destroy them as you go. In any case, they were a temporary expedient that required constant maintenance, weren't they?

Just wondering what happened to them.Try using regular trenches for AT trenches. Place AT mines behind them. Hide AT teams in the trench, or not as is your wont.
