Digging-in or staying put ?

[SuperIke]

Hi guys,

I have only a few games of experience with the PzC system and I enjoy it immensely. Glad to have found this site and other players (I enjoy playing against the AI to get to know scenarios, but playing against a human is a vastly different challenge).

One thing is bugging me since the beginning. I do often end up with areas not strong enough to go on the offensive, so I'm thinking that in those places I should dig in.

The problem is that your units only fire and defend at half-value while digging in. So if enemy units are adjacent, they might as well assault you on the cheap when they see you digging in and get you out before you get into improved positions ! Digging in these occasions defeats the purpose, isn't it ?

What do you guys think ? With adjacent enemy units, is it better just staying put rather than digging in and providing the enemy with an easier target while you're busy digging these foxholes ? In your experience, does it make any difference ?
