We use Kr and Øre, as we have chosen not to be part of the Euro. Thanks Sulhir.

I do not know much about it really, I am just running a campaign in French Indochina, so the thought occured that there should be treebursts.

Treebursts are more lethal because:
- Your foxhole or trench does not give much protection against something exploding overhead and shattering hot, razor-sharp shrapnell everywhere.
-Additionally the tree(s) will also shatter and throw long, pointy and extremely nasty splinters everywhere. Again from above, so still not much cover to be had. The Americans felt the effect of this in the hard battles for Hürtgen Forest.

Airbursts just above ground would be the same except for the splinters. But I believe that they should still, by logic, be more damaging to ground troops as they cannot take cover except under vehicles or inside bunkers. Though I am unaware whether such an effect can be included in SPMBT/SPWW2. I just know what happened historically, nothing on game mechanics.
