Rail bridges in Kiev '43?

RE: Rail bridges in Kiev '43?
The change to rail bridges across hexsides being light instead of heavy was made fairly recently. I've seen light rail bridges in the updated version of France '40, Japan '45, Japan '46, Scheldt '44 and Kiev '43.

From the manual:


Quote:Light, Medium, and Heavy Bridges

There are three types of hex side bridges: Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Light Bridges represent simple footbridges and can only be used by foot infantry or units that are On Foot. Light Bridges may also be used to represent Railroad Bridges to reflect their poor ability to handle vehicular traffic.

Medium Bridges represent wooden bridges and can be used by infantry, cavalry, and non-armored vehicles.

Heavy Bridges represent metal bridges and can be used by all units.

In earlier titles, it was possible to simply use railroad bridges to move tanks and other armoured vehicles across rivers if only medium bridges were available elsewhere. The nature of a river as an obstacle for such types of movement when no suitable bridges are available wasn't represented well.

Full hex bridges are always Heavy.
