I have a question about British infantry. The Engineers cost more than the HW Inf unit yet their initiative and air defense are lower and all other stats are equal. So why would you ever build Engineers when HW Inf units are cheaper and have better stats?

Edit - I know Engineers are immune to rugged defense but that happens so infrequently it hardly seems worth the extra prestige.

They also ignore fort bonuses.

Attack a heavily entrenched enemy, and you'll see where the extra prestiege goes

I don't see that in the manual. Was that added after launch or am I just missing it?
