Can terrain be destroyed

[Nitram Draw]

I know you can destroy buildings but can you destroy other terrain, like hedgerows? Would you use bulldozers, engineers, something else to do it?

Other than rubbling buildings and dropping bridges, I don't believe so.

The most large amounts of HE can do is create shell holes.

I guess in a 50 metre length of hedgerow even a bulldozer only creates a small gap and to all intents and purposes the hedgerow is still there.

Thanks. I was at least hoping to be able to create a path for my tanks. Sometimes a whole cluster of victory hexes is inside a circle of hedgerows and the roads seems to be lined with them. Guess I need more foot sloggers! :)

Send one through my moving it one hex into the hedge. Chances are it won't get stuck but it will clear a path for the others.

Bridges can.

How do you destroy a bridge?

How do you destroy a bridge?

Drop a large enough HE warhead on it, and be lucky in the damage dice throw - it is no longer a 100% event as it once was.

Warhead size of about 122mm for wooden bridges, and 8 inch for stone - or a laser guided 1000+lb bomb (MBT). Best bet is probably a pre-laid demolition charge, or several (the first will trigger the others in the same or next hex, often enough).

Thanks.

If I attack the hex with area fire, would that also give a chance to destroy it? Say I used an engineer unit with demo charges.

Or maybe blow up an ammo carrier on it :)

Engineer has a slim chance as it should really be placed to be effective, z fire as stated.
Ammo carrier has a good chance if it blows up, needs to be enemies though or you cant fire at it unless you want to use your artillery or z fire at it.

A demolition charge would work but it's not 100% certain by design.

to clarify, I was referring to Bridges.
