Trenches
In order to improve their survivability, the Rifleman unit can dig trenches, shaping a Grass, Dirt, Forest, Soil or Crops tile into a Trenches tile. This also removes any Frostbite present on the tile. Trenches provide excellent protection against gunfire, allowing riflemen to hold chokepoints longer.
