[Rules] Consolidation (17.1) and Dug-In status

[vince hughes]

GKZ,

I have never used the consolidation rules. One of the optionals that I have never been too keen on. Funnily enough for the same reason as yourself expressed re OoB's and chain of command. I don't think two damaged platoons would knit nicely enough in the span of a game to be as cohesive as the original platoons they belonged to. .... Anyway, thats mere opinion and others disagree, so to your Q.

I'd say they would still be dug-in. They were both dug-in before and in the same hex. Therefore, it seems that they have simply unified local command rather than position and will hold the same dug-in position.
