Entrenchment - 6/17/2012 7:35:28 PM

I have a few questions that have been bothering me.

#1 Why after I enter an inf unit into a tench, I hit the little house button for enter, the next turn I have to re-enter that same trench when I haven't moved?

#2 What is the meaning of the circle with a line through the center when I scroll over a trench?

#3 Can I receive a +2 defence mod for an inf unit in a heavy woods hex that unit enters a trench in the same hex for another +2 def mod, then if I have enough AP's, entrench my unit in the same turn and receive an additional +1 mod to bring my def mod up to 5? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

You shouldn't have to re-enter a trench on subsequent turns, unless perhaps you moved after entering. I'll see whether I can reproduce this.

The symbol means that wheeled vehicles cannot enter the hex.

If there is a trench in heavy woods, then I think you can do what you describe. I can't recall any trenches located in heavy wood hexes off-hand.

Ok Eric I think I reproduced it.
It happens when I don't exit out of the game to desktop before starting another game. I played the map "Counter stoke". When you choose your units make sure you choose Pioneers units. Place those Pioneer units in a trench during setup, then further entrench them using 7 AP's. Come next turn you will have to re-enter the trench again.
Update: I stand corrected, I can reproduce it regularly with or without exiting to desktop. The Pioneer units are now taking an AP point away from me and not entrenching themselves. I enter the trench for the second time in one turn and the game will subtract an additional 1 AP. Then my trench modifier bonus of +2 is taken away from me. Again all of this is a result of my units not moving at all in that turn, I'm just using my AP's to defend in the same hex.
Cheers hope that helps

Is it that using "hasty entrenchment" when a unit is in a trench is causing the unit to leave the trench? Thanks for the report on this. I'll see if I can duplicate it based on your instructions.

yes Eric you are correct, it is when I use "hasty entrenchment" when I already am in a trench.
