[quote="Sol Invictus"]That is a good idea] Is it really so? I thought there was a penalty in combat or moving. If there's no penalty, I agree entrenchment should be automatic. But probably the best solution in terms of realism would be a penalization in subsequent movement or in combat (mo...

Yes, it is not the reroll each turn that is an inconvenience, it's the clicking on the strategic order. Totally agree. I have the whole game now. I've been just been playing a French-Indian scenario, I wanted my Indian units to ambush, and it was really a pain to set them every turn. BTW, I find th...
