In's and Out's of 'Abandon Bridge' ?

[LordDeadwood]

Also, just as an FYI, if the engineer unit that constructed the bridge is forced to retreat either through assault or by becoming broken, the bridge is gone as well. Ask me how I know that. Go on, ask me! 

And in that vein, I wonder why it is that you can't transfer maintenance of a bridge from one engineer unit to another? It seems like it would be a fairly simple and logical thing to do...

LOL - no need to ask, we can figure that one out.

As for why you can't transfer the bridge to another Engineer.....no real world reason, just because it's not programed that way, and probably isn't a very big issue to get on their list of things to do.  Especially so given the recent loss of the lead PzC programmer.

Oddly enough, the broken engineer unit. having involuntarily "abandoned" his bridge, still retains bridging capability. Admittedly, it will be a while before the unit is in any shape to build another bridge, but this is a 284-turn game and it's only turn 27 so he will probably be back in action at some point.
