RE: Serbia '14
So the manual is incorrect in part/confusingly written, but written from the design side of bridge engineers, rather than how they are implemented. Basically, Engineer is a type of unit, while Bridge Engineer is a flag. Any unit type can have the bridge engineer flag - in other words, an engineer, or infantry, or tank, or other types. Not sure all would work, but they can be set as Bridge Engineers. I believe in at least one game, maybe when bridge engineers were first created, they weren't engineers but rather infantry - the only thing they could do is build bridges - I may not remember this correctly though?

I created my own bridge engineer type as infantry, and put a regular engineer with the bridge flag, and my custom engineer, in a test scenario in TRENCHes. The regular engineer could build a bunker, the infantry with Bridge Eng flag could not. And the infantry type displayed a message that "Only non-bridge engineers can build bunkers". Regular units that can dig in provide the same message. So I am thinking that is why the manual reads the way it does.

As the Bridge Eng flag could imply the unit is an engineer, I now read the manual as more correctly stating Only Engineers that aren't solely Bridge Engineers can build bunkers, although even that is a big confusing. Really, ONLY engineer types can build bunkers, and bridge eng status is meaningless for this check, which is what the phrasing must mean to say.

If that makes sense. An issue with using engineer two different ways - one a type and one a flag.
