Ibarrier2

 

Barrier interaction normally only with vehicle1. Set this option to 1 for interaction also with vehicle2. Set this option=2 for interaction ONLY with vehicle 2. NOTE: for option 1 & 2 you must specify hardpoints on card(s) 29 for both veh1 and veh2. If not simulating veh1 simply set the points all to 0.
