Is this a bug/mistake?

RE: Is this a bug/mistake?
Yes, but did you look at the TO&E?
The American engineers had a separate unit that did the foot bridges. Not engineers in general.
Let's see; drive up in trucks, dismount, offload the bridging, assemble, and make a ramp on either side to move across.

I'll start looking for pics of German engineers with chainsaws. Until then, let's go out into our back yards with a chainsaw and cut down enough trees to make a footbridge that can be used by combat soldiers to cross a forty foot span?

Maybe cut down a tree big enough to have sixty ton tanks drive across?
All in the same six minutes?

And, don't worry, it's part of the game now and I can make a choice of erecting a bridge. Where it effects the old scenarios are in the ones where blowing bridges was part of the game tactics. Now a couple of engineers, with chainsaws, can make a bridge (even in the desert where you can find all those trees to cut down) that infantry can cross and take victory hexes that were intended to be denied (by the scenario designer).

Sorry Wolf, this is the last of my comments. :bow:

cheers
