Discussion thread for possible new bunker creation rule.

[Mr Grumpy]

Assuming bunkers are not an upgrade of a trench then building them in the front line would be impractical as you wouldn't be able to build a bunker on top of a trench. You would tend to build them behind the lines. If the number of bunker building engineers was limited you'd need to choose your spots carefully, like the way you build bridges.

I would say a bunker is an upgrade of a trench , deeper covered over / enhanced with whatever loacl materials were at hand , Timber especially.

Like the bunkers in the film Cross of Iron - thats what I feel they were like

From the rules manual "What Bunkers offer over Trenches is generally timber protection from Direct Fire and overhead protection from Indirect or Artillery Fire" .
