what’s wrong with sandbags?

They are ok for windows, but totally don’t work when it comes to blocking the doors. And as you can see, players prefer to use hedgehogs. And I admit, I just like the idea to break through some wooden barricades with an axe.
It just something that would not be gamebreaking in any way, but can be a fun addition.

I agree

Sorry for some bad copy of the message

Someone asked how explosives works vs wire (why did I originally type infantry??!! :roll_eyes:) in real life - the answer is - they didn’t. Unless they exploded right on the wire - with instantaneous fuzes.

Normal artillery and shrapnel in WW1 did little or nothing to wire - prompting the Brits to invent the instantaneous fuze 106.

the other standard method of explosive clearing is a tube filled with explosive pushed underneath the wire - Bangalore Torpedoes - see Bangalore torpedo - Wikipedia

with small explosives (hand grenades) or no fragments (explosive packs) the weapons carried by infantry should have little or no effect.

Of course wire cutters and throwing a body (alive or dead… :dizzy_face:) across it also work for various amounts of time and suffering!! :rofl:
