FASCAM - Gamey or not?

[Volcano Man]

I think the solution was offered at the front end, that FASCAM should not isolate a unit, but would still have the effects of a mine field otherwise.
In the example TBird cited, we are not talking about one unit, but many.

Actually, it seems like the simple solution here would be to have all FASCAM / artillery delivered mines arrive as already (pre) penetrated (unless they are dropped on an existing non penetrated minefield, in which case the attack would be wasted). This would prevent FASCAM from isolating anything and present the fact that they are indeed thinly laid. Not sure if that would be done, but it makes sense to me.

I don't like the idea of making FASCAM non persistent, disappearing. It is true that FASCAM can be set to self destruct but this is not always the case. In my experiences, FASCAM can also be set to not self destruct as well. So, without getting involved in the conflict of having to represent both choices, it is probably better to leave that aspect of them alone. But I think having them arrive pre-penetrated would address the gaminess that has been mentioned.
