Wait and see moves, sorry I never took my hand off it ! oh! I was meant to move that there etc. It also slows down the game. Plus terrain dictates players to stay put. As I will wait and see, behind this hard cover for the other player's move.
There you go two people two contrary opinions
We used to have a couple of players that played as you mention. Now it is very simple we just played a super aggresive game against them (on the table mind you ) and this sort of forced them to play quicker and without the fiddling stuff since otherwise they would constantly be responding instead of taking the initiative. So what if they stay put on the hill with some of there troops at least you know they will always do that (another advantage) and you can design your plan to take account of this.
What we used to do was put some skirmishers or expendable stuff in front of such a hard cover position, and 99% they would stay with there uberphalanx/old guard grenadiers behind it. Nice trade of I would say
However if you would like rules for competition stuff it is bound to give HUGE problems for the umpires I am sure
