Cycle 75 - Counterscarp
Counterscarp
A counter-slope room for holding the exterior ditch lanes before pressure reaches the wall. Hold the trench line, keep cross-lane custody named, and block unowned movement before it reaches the wall.
Brace outer slopes and assign custody before approach pressure stacks at the ditch.
Counterscarp risk mix: high 5 - medium 2 - low 0
