I'm thinking about providing my 6mm soldiers with HESCO barriers from GHQ. I'd like to make them part of field defenses rather than just a terrain feature and I wonder: how should I treat them? As trenches? Deployable linear terrain? Dragons teeth (could such a barrier stop a tank?) or maybe combination of the above? What would you suggest?

Linear terrain sounds OK.

Hesco Barriers wouldnt stop a tank but would slow them up they are bassically a cage filled with stones or sand to reduce the blast radius and stop shrapnel

Yeah, I know what such barrier is made of and yeah, there wasn't much thought behind "stopping a tank" question. Smile

So, I will treat these as linear terrain that can be deployed - I think the same cost as for barbed wire would be fair. Thanks for the replies!
