damnMikeBrown: True entrenchment isn't really available in delay missions, only defend missions. The best we can do on a delay mission is "in cover," which is accomplished by setting a unit's stance to "defend." This was done right at the beginning, so your boys are as well protected as they're going to get, I'm afriad.

The ability of a unit to use cover to protect themselves is a function of their experience, as well as terrain (which is why we set up on the tree-line), so they will get better at it as the war progresses (assuming they survive).

Our howitzers are capable of counter-battery fire against the Japanese long guns, but this is something completely out of our hands. The only thing we can do to help this out is to leave some of the howitzers idle (which definitely isn't a problem, since Radioman Boris can't get them on the horn anyway).

Let me know if this doesn't answer your questions.
