The Competition & Teaser Thread

Well, i thin in booby traps as "light mines" if we have IP and trenches, bunkers and pillboxes... why not a light version of mines???

I think booby traps can work fine at PzB scale, i think on this:

1-there is a PDT value that set the change to activate booby trap when an unit enter in the hex lets say 20% for example.

2-units quality affect this and change % to activate booby trap, A -5% B -2% C 0% D +2% E +5% F no morale... well +5% to.

3-stack affect to the PDT base %, if unit enter in hex and is under 50% of stack chance to activate booby trap is the same, if there is overstack increase it certain %... lets see in our example 20%.

4-Scouts when enter in the hex with booby trap first do a check, a PDT value set their chance to detect the booby trap (and same modificators like in points 2-3 to increase the detection value) if detect the booby trap destroy it if cant do it we need see if they are like a regular infantry unit can activate or not.

5-Kills... well, again PDT value, if booby trap is activated you have 75% to lose 1 soldier, 20% lose 2 and 5% lose 4, as you can see i dont think in heavy casualties, they are more a disturbance and a way to made attacker suffer not only by direct combat.

6-booby traps are single use defenses, when "hit" an unit dissapear.

For me the point in booby traps is give a certain number of them in the scenario (PDT value) infantry units can deploy them, all unit types, but not to create a line... booby traps need leave certain number of hexes between them and well deploy them is automatic, you select deploy booby trap, you have a certain succes % (again in PDT) and you use... lets see 1/3 action points with this you can use them to retreat fighting and leaving some "obstacles" to enemy advance.

All this are ideas i have, of course we have 2 limitations, 1st engine and 2nd battle covered... maybe are some where this could be interesting but not like on other theaters and now maybe are other more vital things to add in PzB... or not hehehe.
