Bridges in Stalingrad Campaign

[Scar]

The automatic bridge blowing feature in Stalingrad does not seem to work well. When I first began playing the campaign game as German, I figured the auto bridge demolition was in place to insure that certain bridges would still be availible for the Russians in order to make the game playable. The Germans have tons of engineers in the rear areas, and it made sense.

However, after getting deeper into the game, it does not work so well. Once a Soviet unit reaches a bride, and the auto fails, the Germans can not then bring up and engineer a destroy the bridge. Why? There are many smaller bridges that failed to auto destroy, but the Germans can not then have engineers destroy them, and it makes little sense.

Anyone else seen this issue yet? The auto feature in M44 worked well I thought, but here its annoying and unrealistic.
