The pens that Wladislaw was collecting during the war games were pencil detonators, aka timing pencils, basically pens with blasting caps and short-duration timers, settable by turning. Yet, this act by Wladislaw or even what these devices were was never explained nor the purpose and ultimate intent and objective given. One can only conclude there must've been more in this scene and the lead up to the scene that ended up on the cutting room floor, but this remaining scene was missed during editing and inadvertently left in, leaving the viewer wondering just what that was all about.
