Structure Points?

I dont get the importance of structure points in the game. What are they doing? The manual doesnt say much about it. At first I thought that they would prevent enemy troops from attacking/entering the town but that is not the case. Do they raise the entrench points? But in my playthrough the entrench points are not enourmous high on units in towns.

Hi Novaliz,
Structure points are part of Vic's underlying engine and their main use was in Advanced Tactics where it's possible for your factories, mines etc. to be destroyed.
In DC3 the only use I've made of them is for Soviet Fortifications (place them with action cards). If a particular fortification takes a hammering it can be destroyed and removed from the map (structural points at zero).
Cheers,

Thank you for your answer. So units in towns with structure points don´t get an extra defense bonus, right?

Hi Novaliz,
Nope. Moscow doesn't disappear just cause it runs out of structure points.
Defensive bonus is keyed off the terrain type, in this case a city.

Ok, so what is the point of having it in the game? Why do I have a siege artilery when structure points do nothing? I dont get it [&:] Do I missing something?
