Bonus when assaulting with engineers ?

[Glenn Saunders]

> I now realize that some engineers have in fact an assault value 60% higher than regular units !

....and on the other side, some Eng units are as Volcano said, poor quality construction troops with little equipment. I recall one story where an German Eng attempting to bridge the Our River in Bulge was one uch unit that was using axesto cut trees t create a timber bridge. This unit is low quality and that impacts the percentage chance at bridging the river.

It is bridging and mine clearing that Engs special equipment comes into play ad in this respects some Engs hvae both capabilities, some have one or the othher and some have neither. Those with Neither can still be used to Ferry units over a HEXSIDE River. FULL HEX Rivers require a Eng unit that is assignd HAS BOATS if they areto ferry units. Also - ALL ENG can clear mines at a rate of one facter per turn regardless of their quality.

....anyway - that is a shoot from the hip snap shot of Eng and what they can do for you in addition to the enhanced assault ability when present.
