RE: A few modern campaign questions
Do you have examples of pontoon bridges captured by the enemy and put to use? I am sure there are some but I couldn't find any. I thought maybe Kalach in the Stalingrad encirclement but can't find anything stating that in a quick search. But I can find cases of pontoon bridges being disabled when the enemy approached. Much easier to disable a pontoon bridge than a permanent one, no explosives needed.
Anyway, as I mentioned there was an early decision to require an engineer to maintain an engineer bridge. Engineer gets destroyed then the bridge disappears. In some PzCs it would be nice to leave a bridge for other friendly units but it just isn't allowed. Agree or not that was on purpose.
