Units not digging in

[Spricar]

Playing as France I've noticed that my units don't dig in when not moving. Currently I'm in late 1939 and I have all the app. techs researched.

Is this WAD to give Germany an edge over France or what?

I believe that units only dig in when your country is at war as I have noticed this from time to time with various nations (I may easily be wrong)

yep, no digging-in in peace-time

You are correct, sirs! I can't believe I missed that one...Must be because I'm always on the offence

Thank you for your answers though

I've made an HoI2wiki page on it here:

If you guys have any more good tidbits you'd like to add, please share

Did you research Great War Shovel technology? Without it they can't dig in.

But, IRL, digging are widly trained (or troops get too much lazy )in peace time (limit it to level 3?), and in preparations for war (on countris with high beligience or hard coded for certain countries (e.q. Cze-Ger - on borders in 38 are widely build trenches in full mobilization , in certain areas are still visible today).
