question on building field fortifications

In a PBEM campaign, I haven't been able to get the "build fortification" button to light. I've assembled what I believe to be the required units in a city under Federal control -- 4 batteries of cannon, 2 separate supply units, plus an engineer unit and infantry led by an activated leader. I've also tried outside/adjacent to the city. Not sure what else is necessary. Would appreciate any advice, thanks

Hi Trapper John, and welcome to the forums
Are you sure you fulfill all of the following?
- You must have 2 supply wagon units and 4 artillery units gathered in a region. Note: The artillery units need not be of the same type.
- The units cannot be depleted and must have at least 50% strength.
- The units cannot be in a stack led by an inactive general.
- You must have at least 51% military control of the region in question.
- There must be a city (of any level) in the region.
(You say you fulfill some of these, but what about the 2nd and 4th items?)
