Battlefield Accessories
This set allows you to build a large variety of signs to confuse the enemy, warn your friends of mines, and add communication lines and defended positions – giving you a great choice of how your battlefield will look!
Anti-Tank Obstacles
The development of fast-moving reliable tanks led to many ideas of how to slow or destroy them. Large shaped blocks of concrete, strengthened with a steel core, often called Dragon’s Teeth were a good way to block a vehicle’s progress.
Equally, the infantry had to be stopped or channelled away, so engineers on all sides were kept busy constructing wooden and steel frames that held long rolls of taught barbed wire, solid enough to keep away all but the most determined men.
