France '14 Digging Questions

[Mr Grumpy]

If you have a unit in the process of digging for several turns, which has already completed a improved position and is attempting to dig a trench, then order them to stop digging so they can fire on the enemy for a turn or two, and then have them continue digging a few turns later, will the "digging level" continue where it left off (some where in between a IP and trench) or will the "digging level" reset to a IP, and they will have to start all over again for attempting to dig up to the next level which would be a trench?

Each turn you have a unit digging in it has a % chance of being successful, how many turns you have had that unit digging in does not affect the % chance of success on any particular turn as each check for success is a separate event.
So in your example a unit that has created an IP and is then toggled to dig a trench will continue with the same future % chance of creating that trench.

Also, I had several fixed units who I set to dig however, when I get a turn back from my opponent none of the fixed units are digging, none of them have created a IP, none of them have fired on the enemy, and none of them have not been fired on by the enemy. Any idea why they are not continuing to dig on their own?

In hundreds of games of PzC or F14 i have never seen a unit "untoggle" itself from digging in without the owning player doing so or the unit is disrupted or assaulted out of its hex, the only time the digging in status has changed without these events is when a IP or trench has been successfully created.

So i don't really know what you are seeing there? If it is actually the case that your units stopped digging in on their own, then you have seen a bug never reported on these forums.
