But, I have a question.

How does the player allocate these purchased trenches among his units?

Thank you for your time on this matter I appreciate the game designer actually answering questions.

Yes, except as SMK has noted.  Trenches can be destroyed by artillery and occupation.

Status: offline 		Thanks, the problem for me is the hex still says Fort 0 and no mention of Trenchs.
However, a 1 does appear on the unit in the hex, indicating Trench 1, tada !
