RE: Attacking a Full Bridge Hex by Air
Dogbert,
Could the following make sense?
1. The air attack was a strafing attack. Not every engineer in the unit was KIA, many were wounded by the guns and flying debris from near misses. Enough to cause the unit to cease to function as a unit?
2. The charges being placed, even if hit might not go off since the primers were not yet in place. I'm not an explosives expert, but I think even modern bridge demo charges are inert until that little something is added that makes them truely dangerous to be around.
