If you didg in and then use them in direct support, they loose their 'dug-in' status and do not assist defensively next turn. Unless I misunderstand your meaning...
..true but there are variations on a theme right ?, like divide in two, dig-in then half goes boom and the other half goes tac sup, if player 1 or just dug-in if player 2..dig-in to stop the damn things trying for combat medals
..mind you, i've been having great fun in Next War Jerusalem 2005 and Winter War 39 with 30% turn-left so go ignore, gosh still got a move left so go ignore, gosh still got a move left so go ignore, yes ! now i can send the bloody thing....
..plus 1 hex range on tac-sup in defense is crazy, who needs loads'a artillery rushing into the valley of death..
