River Issues

[John Given]

I pretty much agree with all points Troll, however,

1. Shallow points in a minor river use fjord / ford hexsides to simulate shallow places where units can cross.

2. For JTCS, there are German and U.S. units in the oob that are amphibious. I'm not sure about the other nationalities.

3. I agree that bridges crossing major rivers, along with pontoons, need to be made destructible by engineers as well as artillery and even airstrikes. However, I'm not sure this can be coded into the game engine. Jason Petho might know.

4. I would like to see more engineering vehicles used in the game for bridging under combat conditions. Jasson Petho told me once that there are U.S. units in the oob that are capable of this, so this tells me that the capability has been coded into the game already. It is entirely possible that this technology was rare / undeveloped in most nations at the time. I have seen old photos of WWII-era German bridgelayers, so I know they had bridgelayers as well. I seem to recall from my old Panzer Leader days the Brits had a unit called the Valentine Bridgelayer, so there's that.
