Dug In ability question

[colringbk]

How does this work? The Sandbagged Machine Gun Team has Dug In ability and Speed of 0, so when its army placement time, you place them at your side of the map, but thats it? So, how do you use these guys effectively? Are they solely useful in scenarios, or is there a better way to use them? Can you transport them via Sd Kfz 251?

I'm having a hard time seeing the value in this unit.

Originally yes, you placed them and that was it.  For scenarios they were great.  For most other matches, if you were rolling a random map, it was a gamble. 

With the new Revised rules, the Sandbagged MG Team CAN now move, but once it does, it loses the 5/5 def
