Digging In

[Mr Grumpy]

Well well, i think Foul should write a new instruction manual for the series and add all the things that are not well covered.

Often the problem is if the person writing the rules also already understands them and it can be difficult the see that they are not clear or can be interpreted in different ways by players, that is were this forum really comes into its own as players like Volcano and RickyB often run tests to confirm just how the engine actually operates and can share that info with the rest of us.

So if theres a 25 in the .pdt a full Bn would have a 75% chance to dig in and on the last one u mentioned there with the Engineers they would have a 125% chance of digging in is what im picking up here. Now wonder just about every unit digs in every turn.

Yes that is another reason to keep your battalions combined (along with less fatigue) if possible, however it is rare that engineers work as a combined battalion, they normally end up as company's spread along the line in which case the PDT % is just x2.

Some players may have noticed in Volcano's _Alt scenarios the digging in % is very low (i.e. 4% in MG44), it was only when i questioned this i discovered that there were multiple modifiers to the digging in % that could boost this figure substantially, i had forgotten about the bonus for a combined battalion! Dooohhhhhh :rolleyes:
