Entrenchments - A Simple Question ?

[Hugmenot]

Vince,

-2 column shift only.

The modifier states "–2 assault against defending units occupying entrenchment or town hex". All modifiers can only be applied once per combat, not once per sub-condition. For example, "+1 side includes ENG unit in town or entrenchment hex" is NOT +1 per ENG nor +2 if in an entrenchment in a town hex.

I also note the Direct Fire Table includes a "–2 target hex contains entrenchment (–1 if entrenchment is in town or woods hex)" so I would have expected something something similar on the Assault Chart if the effect of an entrenchment was in addition to those of a town.
