Bridge Building tricks

[Hank]

this thread is about bridges so I was wandering if anyone had the same thought I had about what an engineer is doing when "bridge ops" are initiated on a hex side with a damaged bridge?

Is the engineer unit building a new treadway bridge next to the damaged bridge or is it repairing the bridge?

However long it takes, you guys debate that issue.
But, if an engineer has heavy bridge building capability I would think it would be able to repair a bridge then move on to other bridge building jobs (without disassembling the bridge they just built or repaired). OF course, some bridging engineers can be broken down but I don't think its that way in all sce's.

As is, PzC's can only have a bridge in place ... built or repaired ... when an engineer is in the hex.

just a thought ... I thought this would be important. Several times ... I've needed a bridge closer to the front but I had to take down a bridge in the rear areas to free up an engineer for another bridge near the front lines. ... if the engineer couldn't be broke down into smaller units.
