This is on turn one of the round 10 map. I noticed a couple of enemy units in this situation. Bug or something I am misunderstanding?

During deployment phase, units which are already deployed have an entrenchment value: either base entrenchment from their terrain, or a preset value chosen by the map designer (ex: in WC round 10, some allied units have 8 entrenchment, or in WC round 9 (Berlin), we had some 10 entrenchment pioneers).
When you un-deploy these units, and then re-deploy them on another hex, they keep their entrenchment value !

I don't know if this feature is something really wanted by PzC2 game designers, but for the moment it is how the game works.

PS: some terrain have less than 10 max entrenchment value (ex: in desert, you can have 5 entrenchment max). This means that the situation you describ can happen (an entrenchment value higher than the theorical maximum entrenchment). But I don't know what value is really taken into account in combats (the entrenchment value or the theorical max). As predictions are not available in MP, I couldn't check that.
