The DAMAGE button had no effect what-so-ever as barbed wire is not "damage".

Didn't try cutting out the effected section, just anything I could think of that could/would/"should" alter the terrain (and wire is a terrain feature) of the effected hexes.

I stumbled across the clear-entire-map-and-reload solution as a final act of desperation. Sometimes desperate moves are the "correct" one

Okay well thats strange in my experience the damage button removes all shellholes, emplacements (foxhole & sandbag) mines, dragon teeth & wire.
It also if I remember correctly removes trenches so long as they do not cross a hill crest tile.

With a bit of thought you can use it to remove foxholes sandbags created by a defending force if you want part of them to be mobile & forgot to deploy them first with the slider on meeting engagement.

..and ID tags....

MY experience is the same and re-testing confirms it to be true exactly the way John describes it but they will ALL be removed simply by placing ground ( 0 ) level terrain on the hex then rebuilding as necessary.

I *HAVE* seen cases where maps refuse to co-operate becasue they have become corrupted but it's rare.

POST THE MAP and I will look at it

My map?
No can do, as I overwrote the corrupt scenario save once I stumbled across the fix.
