Sauron1 writes;Yes that is what we use as the razor wire terrain bit is
made up on wooden medical tounge depressers(larger popsicle sticks) from a
craft store. So the result is a 3/4 inch wide defensive piece wich
represents quite a band of wire at Epic scale.So is treatted as dangerous
for all ground troops.I must admit the idea was in a White Dwarf years ago
as part of an IG article. sauron1
