Because that is what the Romans did. Smile

And because the camp would then
give a -2 to any enemy attacking it (attaivking a defended obstacle). And the
enemy would count the camp higher (-2) due to the ditch.

Question 2 Can I put troops in to defend it since I now have a
ditched palisade?>>
I defer to Scott the intent. You certainly can put troops behind a ditched
palisade. I am not sure if the wording is meant to restrict you to only having
this touch your camp or no other use. I suspect the 'for your camp' part is
just history. Scott?

Question 3 Is it's purpose just to make it harder for the enemy to
get into the camp?>>
Yep.

By this Scott means put the LI between the camp and the palisade and the
palisade between the LI an the enemy.
