Does any have a great tactic for attacking units behind fortified positions, walls, and fences? I'm mainly talking about those identified with a shield symbol/icon above them.

It does not make sense to me that units seem to enjoy this bonus even when units get in and fire at them from behind. IMO the maximum benefit should only apply to frontal attacks, while it should be less if the defender is attacked on the flank or from behind. -

Does anyone have any suggestions or other new mechanics they are struggling with.
