This is interesting but I think you should not allow the digged
detachment to fire 'at full power' (is this English? A pleine
puissance!) : maybe you should only allow it to fire at 2/3 or 1/2 of
its fire power (and without any Overwatch reroll) as it's difficult to
target units which are charging you!

...
"They are too close!"
"Stay on target!"
...

Good for me.

I like them too. I think that I will use them and if you don't mind I
would like to translate them into French for my web site.
