TABLE 6-4: CAMPAIGN TASKS
Entrench
The army starts building field fortifications at a rate of 1GB worth/unit per turn. The army loses the benefits from the fortifications as soon as it moves.

Field fortifications
Field fortifications represent a temporary or partial fortification, such as those at an entrenched armed camp or the walls of a village.

All armies are assumed to construct reasonably fortified positions at the end of each day's march – such minor fortifications are equivalent on both sides, provide no tactical benefit, and are not considered to be field fortifications.

In order to build a fortification significant enough to qualify for a field fortification bonus, an army must occupy the province for four war moves (1 action round).

Movement: No effect.

Combat: Units cannot charge into fortified areas.

Units defending a field fortification square get a +1 fortification bonus to Defense. Units in the fortification square get a +2 morale bonus to all Morale checks.
