RE: Digging in at the MSR hexes etc.
Yes, I exactly meant a defensive position prepared in an anticipation of an inevitable withdrawal when one may find it useful in case of a rearguard action or as a blocking position. In my current Smolensk '41 campaign scenario played on the Stavka side it's well advised to consider a retreat at some point if not right away and then make it an organized one instead of a hasty one. Besides lots of those infantry battalions need to spend some time in the rear before they are forced to see some action and see the elephat finally so they could start digging in as well - I just wanted to make it make sense a little so I looked for spots in which such mundane tasks would alter the course of history just a bit.

However, what's that thing with a dugout in a road hexagon visible right away? Did You mean a direct LOS of an enemy unit advancing or an aerial reconnaissance maybe? Or it is going to be revealed at some point in the game by the general intelligence value as a part of the map that gets updated by the services responsible throughout the campaign?

BTW, I liberated Denmark some time ago in the battle of Schleswig - Holstein?Where do I share the lessons learned?Sir Colonel, Sir?
