Catholes, urine patches (or the smell left over, if catholes are not used, or doo-doo left over if catholes are not used), and slit trenches, whether covered over or not. If you know what to look for, you can track an enemiy's movement with them.

Another weird one.
The PCs find a doorframe, complete with door. It's been erected in a small stand of trees and doesn't appear to have been part of any sort of building. It's as if someone just set up the door for no reason other than to mess with people's heads. (Inspired by the claims of people finding staircases in the middle of woods in the USA. The staircases allegedly cause people to lose sense of time or sense of hearing.) |

Since we're adding to the list, here's a couple of more:
1. A lighter with enough fluid for 1D10 more ignitions. 2. A pack of Marlboro Reds with 1D10 cigarettes in it. 3. A laundry cord tied between two trees with a single sock laying below it. 4. An empty & damaged chicken or rabbit cage and a broken butcher knife. 5. A torn tarp, 20ft length of 3/8" chain (10K # load rating), wooden dunnage, and a ratchet binder unceremoniously dumped in a heap next to a bush. 6. A small steel flask that is now empty but smells like vodka or bourbon. 7. Two dead D-Cell batteries. 8. A garrison cap with a BIG bloody hole through it. 9. A shredded Super-Single off a 5-Ton truck. 10. A used glow stick. |

Inspired by rcaf_777 mention of observation posts.
A civilian light truck, used for electrical line maintenance. Has a cherry-picker (AKA aerial work platform, elevating work platform) that's been modified with some armour protection. Vehicle was parked behind some suitable protection such as a hill, berm or even a wrecked armoured vehicle. The platform itself has some spent bullet casings on its floor, along with some bloodstains. Something "borrowed" from a museum and placed on the battlefield, a World War One fake tree. These were used as observation posts in No Mans Land but also as sniper posts. Check the following links for information but more importantly, for some images: - http://blogs.iwm.org.uk/transforming...mouflage-tree/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/trave...WWI-180962179/ http://www.eastsussexww1.org.uk/camouflage-trees/ https://historywithatwist.wordpress....world-war-one/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#axzz2K8hz8ZgZ |

I don't know about other countries' armies, but in the US Army, use of these sort of platforms in trees is discouraged. As one of my Platoon Leaders, 2LT Brian Earl, said, "They are good die-in-place spots."

The Japanese had a very different mindset though. They'd leave stay-behind guys literally roped into the tree tops. They weren't expected to survive very long, just take out a bunch of the enemy before death.

The Viet Cong had an "elite" group during the Vietnam War, called "Death Commandos." It's members were chained to trees in the face of an unstoppable US advance or to cover a withdrawal, and they were given hoards of ammo and usually a high-ROF, decent caliber weapon like an RPD, and just kept firing at any enemy troops they could see and kill as many of them as possible before they were killed. They were effective, but there were never many of them (I guess the VC were not insane either).

All my 1960s work has got me casting back a few decades, but one of the scenarios I've been working on involves unexploded M55 rockets...
