‘Hedgehog’ Mock Up Area<br />
The hedgehog defence is a military tactic for defending against a<br />
mobile armoured attack, or blitzkrieg. The defenders deploy in<br />
depth in heavily fortified positions suitable for all-around defence.<br />
The attackers can penetrate between these “hedgehogs”, but each<br />
position continues to fight on when surrounded. This keeps large<br />
numbers of attacking troops tied up, attacking the well-defended<br />
strong-points, while allowing the defenders to successfully<br />
counter-attack against the units that bypass these strong-points<br />
with their own armoured reserves by cutting them off from their<br />
supporting elements.<br />
