I have a 1e rulebook but there aren't any rules for barbed wire. Can someone tell me which book has them? Or…can someone just tell me the rules? Thanks |

Rough linear terrain? Bog check for vehicles? Infantry must stop and can continue on next turn? |

Not sure what 1e rulebook means but the current Barbed Wire rules are in the D-Day American book. Infantry teams moving within 5cm of a wire marker must pass a skill test to pass through. If they fail the skill test they stop. Tanks teams moving within 5cm of a wire marker treat barbed wire as difficult terrain. Infantry leader not pinned down may issue a "wire gapping order" instead of moving in the movement phase. If he does, any infantry team within 15cm of the leader, and within 5cm of the wire, may remove that wire marker. That team may not move, shoot or assault for the rest of that turn. |

@WargamerBlue Thanks for the info. I was guessing barbed wire would be considered very difficult terrain requiring a bog check and maybe a skill check to cut through/remove. "1e" means 1st Edition. |
