Attacking a Full Bridge Hex by Air

[JonS1]

Maybe the aircraft used napalm...

Yep. Maybe. Then again, maybe the a/c used pink lamingtons and all the engineers were allergic to coconut ... or enormous mallow puffs which smothered all the engineers ... or cute but very vicious fluffy kittens.

To be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with the rationalisation that maybe these particular a/c carried napalm - instead of some sort of HE based payload - on this particular mission to attack this particular target. I rationalise in-game events all the time. Everyone does. You have to, else you’d go nuts.

The problem is elevating rationalisations to the status of a general answer which explains why a/c can't attack bridges. Ever. Anywhere.

The simple fact is that PzC/MC doesn't have a mechanism for anything* other than engineers** to attack bridges during a game. That's all there is too it. IMO, discussion should be about whether that’s reasonable, if it's even worth doing anything about, and a simple mechanism for how it might be changed. Forming mental pretzels to come up with a generalised rationalisation or justification for current behaviour is a waste of time. IMO.

** hmmmm … I wonder if setting one or more of the optional flags in the unit editing screen for the a/c would help … hmmm … *dashes off to experiment*
