Rules preference

[ComradeP]

Normally I'm not a big fan of features that I don't have any influence on, and Moscow '42 has some percentage/statistical advantages for both attacker and defender in terms of features neither side can influence.

However, being able to blow up bridges at your leisure can result in significantly slowing down the attacker, and you can use your often perfect knowledge of where the enemy units start to determine which bridges to blow. In combination with being required to cross bridges in T mode, that can mean crossing even a minor river could turn into a more time consuming affair that it is in most other wargames.

So, due to the way attacking across bridges works, I prefer wired bridges in this game, even though I haven't yet played a scenario where bridges are really important (in Moscow '42, rivers tend to be frozen, and taking advantage of the "snow=unfrozen rivers" mechanic seems a bit gamey).
