Actually, this reminds me of one solution our gaming group came up with;
we had some fairly hefty Star Wars fans....

Roll a d6 for each jetbike stand moving through forest this turn. Apply
the following modifiers based on orders:
First Fire: +0 (yes, you can just sit there)
Advance: -1
Charge: -2
If the result is less than 1, the jetbike stand rams a tree and explodes.

How's that? ^_^
