Capabilities of "no bridge" engineer

[LBouton]

Anyone know if a "no bridge" engineer can ferry troops across a river or are they just ditch diggers?

[Mr Grumpy]

I am assuming you are referring to a bridge engineer unit that has abandoned its bridge?

If so i see no reason why it will not function as a standard engineer unit in regards to ferrying troops over river hexsides and providing supply, but a simple test would make 100% sure. ;)

From the docs

All Engineer units except for Bridgelayers (see below) are capable of:
• Improving the ability to Dig-In
• Bridge Damage and Anti-Tank Ditch Destruction
• Ferrying units across Rivers and Canals
• Mine Laying
• Clearing Rubble
While some Engineer units are also capable of:
• Mine Clearing
• Bridge Building

So the answer would be YES I think. However the above refers to river hexsides not full water hexes - This would require end with a special "Has Boats" designation.

Do they improve the ability just by being in the same hex, or they have to be actually in digging-in mode?
