Caltrops were a significant plot device in one of Ellis Peters' early Cadfael novels - One Corpse Too Many.

They were extensively used in the first weeks of the First World War, Bicycle-mounted light infantry, supposed to be fast-moving, were brought to a walk with shredded tyres.

So often what seems brilliant on paper....

Sorta makes me wonder how well all these supersonic nuclear armed missiles are gonna work out? Of course there's another plan for that, an arms race in space with unstoppable missiles —Merry Christ-mass and a love filled Saint Valentine's Day ????????

I think I need to go put Ann Murray's Christmas Songs on for awhile.
