Default Re: Buying Defensive Features for Meeting Engagements

Claymores are cool

But this suggestion isn't only about making temporary or quick and easy defensive features available for Meeting Engagements.

I was thinking about any WWII front line position that's been static for a couple of days, soon has a no-mans-land with all sorts of defensive positions built on BOTH sides of the no-mans-land. Barbed wire, trenches, mine fields, bunkers, etc. The longer the stalemate, the more sophisticated these defenses could become.

Both sides - often evenly matched - would try to attack/counter-attack and gain ground from the other side.

'Meeting engagements' didn't only take place in a mine/trench free environment.

In other words, I think defensive features could realistically be made available for both sides, and the forces could be evenly matched.
