RE: Military Engineering in PzC
When I played Konrad, I decided that I would attack that island strip south of Budapest with my cavalry in a sort of mini breakout to distract my opponent. So I set the hungarian/german (cant remember which) to constructing bridges out of LOS. After 2 days of waiting, I broke the battalions down into companies and spread them out everywhere building until one popped up. All in all, it was about 4 days.
I too wanted my SS bridging engineers on the front, so they could use their high assault values. I think it took about a day to get them to all release, although I did release one of them by abandoning his bridge.
On a side note, I have an engineer in Normandy from the 2nd Panzer, who has been attempting to build a bridge for 3 days now. I think of the movie Bridge to Far, when they were standing around waiting for the trucks to show up so they could start work.
