No. If so then only per SSR by a TPP or for a particular scenario. Nor do I think it would make particular sense.

In the time scope of a scenario, it would not normally be possible to have them removed or covered by dirt and rubble to clear a path for tanks and vehicles. At the same time, they are no hindrance for movement of infantry.

To reflect them in game terms, I believe an AT-Ditch serves the purpose pretty well.

If they are big enough they might even provide some cover to infantry, at least enough to negate any FFMO DRM. ASL level demolition would be hard, most photos I have seen have 4+ layers. An AVRE might be able to blast it's way through, though that would take the whole of a scenario to do.

I was thinking more along the lines of a graveyard’s effect on Infantry etc

I'd just treat them as an AT ditch. Infantry can go straight through or crouch (spend 1 mf to enter ) and get cover.

IMO, graveyards work better. They resemble dragon's teeth only 'thicker'. They provide a Hindrance (whereas none for A-T ditch), and +1 TEM (as opposed to the +2 of ditch, which seems excessive for dragon's teeth). Entry should only be 1 MF (easy to enter like graveyard), not the +2MF to enter/exit a an A-T ditch. You would have to forbid entry by vehicles (which is allowed in Graveyard with hefty Bog DRM).
