AT Ditch

[plloyd1010]

Manu, here are the rules, lifted from Invasion of Germany:
AT Ditches
Anti-Tank Ditch markers denote the presence of ditches dug to prevent the passage of vehicles. As long as a hex contains an AT Ditch marker, no vehicle unit can enter the hex. Units in an AT ditch hex cannot be spotted by enemy units more than 3 hexes away, and get a -1 column modifier when hit with direct fire at a range of 2 or more hexes.

Foot units (only) may remove AT ditch markers by spending a total of five turns filling the ditch. To spend a turn filling a ditch, a unit must begin its activation in the hex with the ditch marker, must be in good order, and must stay there for its entire activation. It can do nothing else during a ditch-filling activation. If two eligible units fill the same ditch during the same turn, it counts as two turns’ worth of ditch-filling, and three units equal three turns. ENG units count double for ditch-filling purposes (each turn they spend ditch-filling counts as two turns). Keep a tally of how many turns of ditch filling have happened in each hex. At the end of the activation when the fifth turn of ditch-filling has been completed, remove the AT marker. The hex immediately becomes eligible for movement by vehicle units when the marker is removed.

We added/expounded:

• Anti-Tank ditches negate roads in the hex which they are placed. (Seems obvious, but not stated.)
  
• Wagons may not enter the hex. (Did you remember they are foot units?)
  
• Weapon units may not perform direct or AT fire from an Anti-Tank ditch. Weapon units without a movement factor and not draggable, may not be setup in an Anti-Tank ditch. (Because if you are in the trench, getting the defensive benefit, how could it shoot out? If it could shoot out, what is reason for the modifier?)
