                              Command : FORTIFY

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: fortify <UNITS> <MOBILITY>

The fortify command is used to make units dig in and make themselves harder to
damage.  The maximum amount of fortification is the same as the maximum amount
of mobility a unit can have. (The version command will print this info).  Each
point of mobility used increases the fortification value by one.

A fully fortified unit is twice as hard to hurt as it normally would  be,  and
is twice as strong on the defense.

Units fortifying in a sector containing an engineering unit are better at  it.
Experiment and find out.

If a unit moves or retreats, it loses all fortification value.   A  unit  that
reacts  to defend a sector, on the other hand, does NOT lose its fortification
unless it is forced to retreat. It receives the fortification bonus in combat,
and  is  still fortified when it returns to its original sector after the bat-
tle.
