Okay, makes sense. So by cutting close to one of the strips of wire in
the screen I can see that you would get what appear to be small 'barbs'
in Epic scale. Actually, big barbs in Epic scale, small barbs to us.

Strangely enough, you just answered an idle question that I had been
wondering about for a while. Good to know even tanks can get fouled in
this kind of stuff. Perhaps tanks should have to take a dangerous
terrain test when crossing razor wire, which will not stop them that
turn but will prevent them moving the next turn?
