Should the engineers be able to build obstacles?

[Glenn Saunders]

Such a artificial limit would be hard to justify on a game and scn basis.

During the Bulge development we discussed the idea of allowing road movement to be negated in forest hexes by engineers dropping trees but such a rule would make it even harder fo the Axis and that just wasn't seen as necessary.

It was again considered in France 40 but instead we just used a higher MP cost to streams and wired many of the bridges to control and slow the German advance without letting the Allied player be able to pull so stunt to do the impossible.

One has to consider not only how to implement a bright idea, and not only what affect it would have on many of the titles, but also how some one will take and use a rule in a manner which hadn't been considered.
