Default different unit status when dug in

Something that came to mind lately. When a unit is dug in, retreat or rout status leaves the unit immobilised in a trench not withdrawing unless it's attacked from less than 100 meters. My proposal is make another status for dug in units called "cowering", which will cover both retreat and rout status, with the same effects as the previous ones (not being able to fire back, inability to spot almost anything, immobilised in a trench), PLUS total immunity from small arms fire (indirect fire weapons can damage it though). The reason for that is that a unit that has most of its men cowering in foxholes doesnt lose them from bullets flying overhead.
