Large ground combat at PM in PBEM game.

What is the correct order for engineers to go in and reduce the fortifications?

Do you set them to deliberate attack or leave them on defend?

I think they haven't been doing their job yet because the odds are not yet in their favour.

Want to be sure that it isn't because I am giving the wrong order. :rolleyes:

Set them for deliberate attack. Section 13, "Attacking combat engineer units( those with infantry type squads in the unit) attempt to reduce fortifications."

Note that they will 'attempt' to reduce them. They may not always do so. The manual does not elaborate on reasons they don't but expect it be dependant on morale, experience, fatigue, leadership, presence of HQ, etc.
