What is a Fortification Location? Is it any hex which contains a fortification? Or is it being IN a fortification (which is sometimes a separate location than the rest of the hex)? [I know IN is used for gullies/depressions, but I'm using it here to indicate the unit is claiming entrenchment DRM shown by placing the unit underneath the entrenchment counter. Please excuse my minor breach of ASL terminology, it was necessary to clarify the question.]
A scenario indicates that units must set up in building/Fortification Locations. There are a variety of fortifications given (pillbox, trenches, roadblock, wire). I'm wondering if a unit can set up in the same hex as a fortification without setting up IN the fortification. For example, a trench behind a wall - could I set up behind the wall not IN the trench but in the trench's hex? [And thus be able to shoot at my opponent during his turn and "skulk" out of LOS during my turn.] Or could I set up in the same hex as the roadblock, which does not have a location for units to be IN in that hex? [A unit "guarding" the roadblock.]
All of the fortifications in the scenario are listed in the index under Fortification. Likewise, Location is given in the index as "a hex as well as any of the following sub divisions of that hex: ...pillbox...." There is no definition given specifically for a Fortification Location. So is it acceptable to set up units in the same hex as a fortification without setting up IN a fortification? Similarly, can I set up units in the same hex as a fortification which a unit cannot be IN such as a roadblock?
Have I confused everyone enough? Thanks ahead of time for you assistance.
