RE: Bridge Building tricks
Well if you want to include a factor for "hours on the job" Then you will need to consider the Morale rating of the engineers. How will you account for "bridge engineers" with special equipment versus the bridge/mine engineers that build bridges from what ever is at hand?
These would all involve some code changes in the engine and you will have to convince John Tiller. Are you attending Tillercon II?
Bottom line I think Glenn's solution is the best. Bridge building is too darn easy in games where it is critical like F40 and MG44. Only the games where you would have to bridge a full hex river (Dnepr in some K44 scenarios and the Waal in MG44) present the attacker with a problem of getting units across in boats to cover the engineers. Hex side rivers are so easily crossed they do not present much of an obstacle due to the 3 co's trick.
