The defensive benefits of a fortification are cut in half whenever:
• A Fortification is vacated.
• When it is occupied by the opposite side, or
• When the defenders lose an assault but are unable to retreat.
Full-strength Fortifications have the fort type displayed in the Terrain Info Box
in ALL CAPS (example: TRENCH). Abandoned forts, or forts occupied by the
opposite side are listed in the Terrain Info Box in upper and lower case
(example Trench). Improved Positions and Trenches that have been
abandoned, can be restored to the existing full-strength status by a unit
successfully "Digging-In" again. Abandoned Bunkers and Pillboxes can never
be restored to full strength once abandoned or captured.


What is meant by this sentence? "Abandoned Bunkers and Pillboxes can never be restored to full strength once abandoned or captured.". If an unoccupied "Bunker" starts the scenario as "vacated", I can occupy it with an engineer (in some scenarios) and build a "BUNKER". That appears to contradict the sentence because it started as "vacated"/"abandoned". If I leave that "BUNKER" it reverts to "Bunker", which is "vacated/abandoned". This rules suggest that you can only change from "Bunker" to "BUNKER" once.



I have gone back and tested this area and realised that there was a number of erroneous statements. Here is the revised text;


The defensive benefits of a fortification are cut in half whenever:
• A Fortification is vacated, or
• When the defenders lose an assault but are unable to retreat.

Full-strength Fortifications have the fort type displayed in the Terrain Info Box in ALL CAPS (example: TRENCH). Vacated forts, or forts occupied by the opposite side are listed in the Terrain Info Box in upper and lower case (example Trench). Improved Positions and Trenches that have been vacated, can be restored to the existing full-strength status by a unit successfully "Digging-In" again. Bunkers can only be restored to full-strength status by a non-bridge engineer successfully “Digging-In”. Note, a Bunker uses the Bunker probability to restore full-strength status while Improved Positions and Trenches use the Digging-In probability. Vacated Pillboxes can never be restored to full strength once vacated or captured.


Thanks,

David
