FASCAM - Gamey or not?

[Zemke]

TBird's point is FASCAM is a surface laid mine field, and if unobserved by the enemy, is relatively simple to clear or go around and would not isolate units when fired in open woods or terrain not restritive in the sense you have to drive on road X or through a narrow gap. Also the amount of ammo required to fire a 1 mile x 1 mile area is HUGE, and a Battalion of artillery would not be able to cover that area in enough density in three hours to isolate anything, and would only be effective in restrictive terrain to slow an advancing enemy that had to move through that area, and is cover by direct fire and indirect fire, making clearing of the mines very dangerous, thus the cumulative effects of all this slow the enemy, and then FASCAM becomes effective. But to be fired into miles of open woods...would never do what is shown in the game, and thus modeled wrong or is gamey.
