Hi!
I would say one free trenchcard or razorwire pr infantrycompany only,
and half price for other fortifications.

This leaves one problem though, where shall theese fortifications be
set up? The setupzone is normally 40 cm from the tableedge, but
objective point tend to be in the middle.

Even if you set some OPs in the PDF setupzone it is very difficult
for the PDF player to get enough VPs to win the battle. The oposing
player can easily pick a number of OPs and only have to break a few
PDF units to win the game.

My suggestion i this:
Enlarge the PDF setupzone to 60 cm and allow the PDF player to start
with holding at least 2, but no more than 4 OPs. Further, I think
that PDF should be the ONLY force that should be permitted allies. We
can adopt the Slann-rules for allies, allowing up to, but not more
than 25% of the force to be an allied. This allied has to be an
imperial force. The guildlines would be as follows:

The PDF forces can start up to 60 cm from the tableedge, the allied
force must start from the usual 40 cm.

Size of battle
Up to 2000 points; 3 OPs held at the start of the game, 2 if allied
forces is present.

Over 2000 points; 4 OPs held at the start of the game, 3 if allied
forces is present.

What do you all think of this?
