Re: Pick Your Defense

I voted portcullis, rock wall, draw bridge, moat...

However, something we realized when considering this very issue is that while the rock wall and the moat are likely the more difficult driving (Type B and D) defenses, the rough terrain and the ramparts might have a more notable effect during auto, because they don't provide consistent frontal area across their width and might induce an angular misdirection.
