Sure, I can suggest it. The change makes sense to me (no ZOCs for MG units). However, I can see it now: the next abuse would be to just simply stack a cavalry squadron with MGs and field guns, so I don't know what good that would do in the grand scheme of things. At least it would prevent someone from blocking routes with ONLY MGs and field guns though. Anyway, there are also a few other advanced rules on the table for the next title that will carry over which can only help (both sides) in this regard.
Still though, the VP levels and objective values must be adjusted and they will. It is mathematical and must be done to influence behavior on both sides. Don't worry though, it is in good hands. ;) The great thing about it is that I now have feedback and know what to do.
In the mean time, the only thing I can suggest is that I would look to bridge the river somewhere where field guns aren't currently covering it. First scout with cavalry, and find a spot, then bring up your own artillery right on the spot to cover it and THEN the engineer unit to build the bridge. If the enemy spots the engineer first, he will likely stack the opposite side with artillery. At least in this approach, you can engage his artillery before they setup, and keep him at a reasonable distance. Just a suggestion for the mean time.
Don't worry, something good will come from all this. :)
