How can you make infantry dig in?

[Mobhack]

the game already does this - if you were stationary the turn before and this turn, you are a little better off than remaining stationary this turn, but haviong moved the turn before.

"Dug in" is a flag - on or off, and it is reserved for entrenchments in an assault.

Zipuli, the "clear" terrain modeled into the game isn't perfectly flat. There is still cover on the ground (small bushes, short hills, etc.) that infantry are assumed to take advantage of. So, because they're already taking advantage of this cover, making a very small trench like you suggest would be unrealistic.

About tanks digging in in SP3: Each SP3 turn supposedly represented 30 minutes of real time (according to the manual). It took maybe 4 turns to dig in, and I guess that you're supposed to assume that the crew climbs outside of the tank and shovels some dirt in front of the hull. Wouldn't be all that unrealistic, if 4 turns meant two hours of real time.
