My marks dwarfs refuse to fight.  I station them in the nice fortified fighting spaces and they rarely fire on the ravening hoards of gobs, beak dogs or trolls.  They all are equipped and activated.  They do an admirable job firing into the pit where I unleash caged victims.  They even practice now at archery ranges.  But when moved to station they crowed away from the fortifications ore even in a nearby room. Occasionally on will gush up against a fortification and notice the target rich environment.  Then that dwarf will unleash his ire, until he is out of bolts.  Then he stands around an gets pincussioned by a blowgunner.  I've tried creating single dwarf squads, but they never stand where I designate  I've taken to making fighting spaces one unit wide. But they usually end up standing in the next room.  My next fort will have a single perimeter fighting hall with a nice for or five thick wall separating the inside.  Any one have a good way to make marks dwarves fight?

I haven't tried it yet, but there was a thread that said one way that works fairly well is to create a 1 tile wide burrow behind your fortifications and tell your squad to defend the burrow.

yeah, burrows only 1 by X wide should work, right up against the fortifications >_>

On the bright side, at least your fort should be safe from an infectious disease contracted from an unsanitized telephone
