River Issues

[Scud]

Maybe, but don't forget the 6 minute game turn. If engineers arrive at a bridge on turn 2, how long will it take them to wire up the bridge with explosives and detonate it? Even not under fire I have to believe it would take awhile.

Using air power to destroy a bridge, however is a much more interesting point, and I'd have to agree. Be a lot of fun in some scenarios. I'd want it to be a designer's choice, though, more than a game-wide feature.

As for river crossing, I agree that one should be able to launch a boat from any riverside hex, regardless of river depth, provided you could get a boat to that spot in the first place (obviously cliff side hexes, heavily wooded hexes, shouldn't work). As it is now, one can only assume the river in that spot is running too fast to launch a boat.

It is easy to say something has to be changed, it is a different matter to actually program it. I don't see much benefits looking at the more urgent issues and recources available for development.

Although I agree with this, it never hurts to put forth ideas. I've found the Matrix people to be very open to the "can do's" and "can't do's". The "shouldn't do's", can, of course, be discussed here. :)
