Always wondered the effect of telephone/power lines on the martians? There has been lengthy discussion on Edison Wire, TAE's attempt to weaponize power lines. A tripod can take damage from a power line. Telephone lines are physically weak and there is very little juice going through them. Running a heavy duty steel cable from telephone pole to telephone pole will be a way to entange tripods. Lots of details to work out. The thing is that if a power line is down in one place, it is down everywhere, and I don't think there is a way to wire them in series. Unpowered cables can be run between two poles over and over, so that when Marvin tries to crash through a line of telephone or power poles, it ends up entangled and dragging two telephone poles.

To beat the power line problem, they can be broken into multiple shorter segments that are interconnected with insulated lines buried or on the ground. With appropriate breakers and switches, the segments can be powered separately from a central source. Having one segment down will not kill the entire array. Martians are not likely to pay attention to these lines on the ground while facing more pressing issues.

The thing is that Edison Wire, like mines, denies an area, it seldom causes casualties. You channel Marvin into a kill sac and wack his doodle with ATgs or Howitzers. (Good Fun.)

Beautiful table - where'd you get those RR tracks?? They look like those made by the German company I was referring to in regards the armored trains thread.
