AT Ditch [B27.56] with Pillbox in same location?

[heggieb]

We are starting a RB Scenario and my worthy opponent has set up in a paved road hex, with shell holes, which makes it legal to put an AT Ditch there, and he also has a pillbox there.
Is it legal? If so, is the pillbox at ground level or is it in the bottom of the AT ditch?

I think it is legal (without having doublechecked).
PB would be at ground level.

Interesting question:
If legal, would this make the Pillbox a Bunker?

I think so.

B27.56 ...An A-T Ditch is treated the same as a trench except that no vehicle may enter an unbridged A-T Ditch and Infantry must pay two MF plus COT to enter/exit the counter of an A-T Trench.

Yes, it would be a Bunker. Entry into the AT Ditch from the Bunker would cost 1mp. MF not MP.

Note that the PB and the A-T Ditch are not in the same Location (as the PB is in itself a separate Location and the A-T Ditch does not create a new Location in the hex), but in the same hex.

Thanks much for the quick answers, I sure appreciate it.
