Some Tactical Questions

[Ricky B]

Re engineers, I would suggest that the type and ratings impact how you use them. Some are bridging engineers critical to river crossings, and their loss could lose the battle for you. Also, depending on the title, the engineers are NOT always as powerful as infantry, there are many of the games where there might be 2-3 or more types, with some effective in combat - being combat engineers, usually with a high assault rating also - and others are rear area engineers with very low firepower and assault ratings. So look at the ratings, determine what you need and use them as they best fit those needs.

And regarding engeneers and digging in, I believe their sole benefit is in helping other units digging in with them in the same hex, rather than digging faster themselves. At least that is how the manual reads, not sure if there might be more to it than that.
