Fighting position that can be garrisoned by infantry and Heavy Machine Guns.

The Fighting Position is a defensive structure that can be constructed by the / for a Manpower cost.

On its own, the structure does nothing. It can be garrisoned by a single infantry squad (including an HMG team) however, providing the usual garrison cover bonuses.

Note that when garrisoned with an HMG team, the squad will not automatically turn to face the HMG in different directions when enemies approach. The player must manually choose a facing.

It can be converted into either an or a at a cost of Munitions and removing its ability to garrison troops. Fighting Positions are extremely hardy against small arms, but as with all structures are vulnerable to artillery, anti-tank weapons, and flamethrowers.
