Srongpoints can indeed be entrenched or dug-in.
And in your example of comparing a strong-point to a unit when both demoralised, I don't think the two are comparable at all.
A unit is a whole platoon, a strongpoint is not supposed to be such and may be just a handful of fellas in whichever 'strong-point' they are in.
I have used a lot of strongpoints in the Westwall and Siegfried battles. Believe me, they do their job well and can make good stacks devastating stacks.
Can strongpoints be dug in and entrenched? Now I am writing this from work so if it states this clearly in the rule then so be it. But surely strongpoints are already sort of dug in/entrenched by their very nature.
I can understand them getting the advantage of terrain but do not understand them getting dug in and entrenchment enhancements as well. I am sure Vince has not dug in entrenchments in any of our game as I would have objected, they are very effective particualy in towna and I can assure you Herr Hughes used them very well in his defence of the West Wall
