Does anyone know what the option Trench Values (menu View) does ? I don't see a difference when I switch it on. |

Hi, You can build trenches, but it is different than breastworks. Your unit must be mounted cavalry or infantry in column. When you tell them to entrench, they start adding to a base value that can be found in the parameter data. A number is added to that value every turn depending on how many men in the hex are entrenching. When the combined numbers equal 100, you have a trench. The trench value, when selected, will show you how many trench points have been built. (not including the base value.) |

The pdt displays a number which has to be reached before a trench is built. Generally, 30 in a 30 min turn pdt or 45 in a 20 min turn pdt. Number of men divided by 100, for example 700 men = 7 so it would take 5 turns in a 30 min game or 7 turns in a 20 min game to build a trench. Each turn you can find out how the diggers are progressing. The sample pdt (demo Overland 3 pdt) gives information on what the numbers mean in a pdt. The demo itself is actually non-functional) J Ferry 2lt 2/20th Corps Overland co-designer |
