DF'85 Digging-in

[mirrorshades]

I think what can take so long is the way that it is calculated. Instead of saying "It takes __ turns to dig a trench", it is instead a probability that the digging-in unit will *finish* on any given turn (it is checked at the beginning of a turn, I believe). I've had digging-in take one turn, as well as up to 3 or 4.

There may be some sort of rolling modifier that increases the chances of completion as the turns go on. (So that even that "slacker" battalion will eventually finish!) :)
