purchasing fortifications

[Celeborn]

I would love for scenario designers to have the option to allow the purchase of mines, bunkers, MG foxholes etc as part of initial deployment. Maybe even conduct the destroy actions that Engineers and other units can have. I realize this might require either use of CP or creation of a separate "Fortification Points" mechanic which I realize may be asking too much.

Or maybe I'm the only one who loves defensive combat engineering.

It's true that the possibility to buy such defensive equipment would be great in defense scenarios

[prestidigitation]

I tend to use my engineers to lay mines and blow bridges on flanks I consider vulnerable during attacking missions, and to blow bridges/lay mines as prep during defensive scenarios while forces conduct mobile delays.

I'm not sure that I'd want/use bunkers as it'd be a burn of cash for zero XP gain on a weak aux unit but I guess that depends on the costing.

We already have the Defensive Doctrine :

The Japanese Defensive Doctrine could probably be available for other factions as well. Maybe with different activation dates.

Was totally unaware of JDD and I think that would do much to address. If that were available for Soviets I might actually try designing a Stalingrad scenario

Building fortifications could be a Specialization for Bautruppe or Engineers

that would certainly be a step in the right direction
