I may be disrupted, but I can handle a shovel...

[Hugmenot]

16.21

If, after the first segment of digging in but before the second, the unit or leader is interrupted by becoming demoralized or disrupted, firing on enemy units, participating in an assault as the attacker, or moving, the Dug In marker is removed. The two-turn process must begin anew in a future action segment.


Becoming means a change in morale status. If a disrupted unit begins to dig in and remains disrupted until its next activation, it can can finish digging in.

Assuming the unit remains disrupted the whole time and does not fire on enemy units, participate in assault as the attacker or move, the following examples are valid:

Example 1
Turn 10: The disrupted unit begins to dig in. 
Turn 11:  The disrupted finishes digging in.

Example 2:
Turn 10: The disrupted unit begins to dig in. 
Turn 11: The disrupted unit attempts to recover and fails.
Turn 12: The disrupted unit attempts to recover and succeeds (it is now in good order)
Turn 13:  The good order unit finishes digging in.
