With the "Dig-In" card do I:
1. get to order four units (attack/battle) then improve their position with sandbags
OR
2. Just place sandbags on four unit?

Yeah, the card could have been a bit more clear. But number 2 is correct, as you have found.

I had the same question, however we played it correctly assuming the time it would take to improve ones position. Where did you find the rule reference?

Thank you for this post. We were having the same debate in my home.

What's the consensus among experienced players...does anyone remove this card or house rule it? I've played a lot of M'44, and I can't recall many instances when Dig In was useful. I've always considered it to be similar to the Command Confusion card in Combat Commander -- just sort of there to take up space, which is okay as both players have an equal chance of drawing it. As much as I hate to alter such a fine game in even the most minor way, it seems like the deck might be better off without it.

My experience with this card seems to be different from yours. I actually enjoy getting it. I primarily use it on units that are taking fire but that I either don't have cards to fight back or am saving up cards on that side for a big push. This makes those units less exposed until I'm able to do something with them.

Leave it in for sure. It has proven itself worthy from time to time.

An example where dig-in is very useful.
Montelimar - a wise Allied Commander will use dig-in to fortify the two towns that are Axis objectives. It is much harder for the Axis to capture either town if the infantry in the town is dug in.
Stopping your opponent getting a medal can be as important as gaining one yourself.
