Map: HESCOs.. I need 'em bad!

[shahadi]

I am trying to understand how to build shp files using the game supplied ShpEd program according to a post in the Mod forum entitled, "How to Edit Icons."

After reading the excellent posts thus far, I realize now, the task is not as simple as creating a modified hedgerow. I must not only create say a modified hedgerow, but add the characteristics of a trench, barbed wire, dragon teeth, and a structure with sufficient density to "deflect" infantry fires.

The problem, however, remains to create the structure in ShpED with the characteristics described above.

A fortification as the base structure is appealing to me and may easily lend itself to proper density and height. However, will the fortification prohibit infantry movement, thus necessitating some kind of breach action is critical.

Any ideas?
