RE: Fort d' Manonville F14
Well, just like how it works in every other game in the system from PzC to MC, bombarding units in fortifications does not reduce the fortification. Whether it is accurate... well, who is to say that any of this is accurate? ;) The only yard stick is whether or not it can hold out to historical levels.
If, in F14, the fortification did get reduced from FORT to Fort, then it would certainly not be able to hold out for two days against two siege gun batteries. The roll of the die might make it get reduced on the first bombardment, then the second and third bombardments blast the occupants to smithereens. As it sits, I am very happy with how long the forts hold out in F14 / FWWC, all too often in these games the defender doesn't seem to have staying power, I prefer the current method of luck and gradual wearing down to decide the issue at this level. These forts seem to provide a reasonably historical amount of resistance. F14 fort levels are directly determined by their capability, and Fort de Manonviller was a modern fort and was extremely capable.
