Andy misspoke.

We have discussed adding this to the game on and off for years and that may have been why he said that. Right now you cannot lay defences like mines, DT etc in any terrain that is -1 height......which is shallow water

However you CAN put down Mines, DT's and wire in swamps which are a -2 terrain height

So...... NO Mines, DT's and wire in -1 ( shallow ) and -3 (deep ) water terrain but you can put them in -2 swamp terrain

Game quirk. Water is -1 and -3 and swamp is -2

BUT the terrain must report it being swamp for that to work. Another game quirk is if you put a swamp where water already exists it will show being swamp on the map but report and act like it is deep water.......so only edit swamp into a map over existing land terrain unless you want to recreate the Sargasso Sea.....

Bottom line........ EXPERIMENT
