Barbed Wire - How best to use it??

[Ralph Metzger]

I use it in woods or cover. I may be wrong here. I think wire gives 100% exposure. Troops in the open can be mowed down. The exposure wire gives in woods and cover allows you to rout enemy as they can't run away fast enough or hide in wire. One thing I saw before is a hiding sqd behind the wire in the woods to spot. A FT that had LOS to just your side of the wire. Sqd spots and the FT area fires and poof, up in flames go the bad guys.
