Some hard cheese with your whine, sir?.
The German WW2 long campaign is probably
the most played variant of the genre. If it was 'broken' then I am
sure it would have been brought up long before now.
As to the occasional river crossing that comes up in France 40 then you do the normal thing for such:
A) Buy some
barge carriers for your tanks to cross the river with. A barge carrier 'carries' a
barge and it offloads that by attempting to drive into the wide river. Load your vehicles onto the barges (a barge can load from alongside as opposed to the same hex so there is no need to drive the vehicles into the river) and ferry across. You can find these formations in the "MISC" page.
B) in a river crossing, your foot troops carry rubber rafts. Again 'drive' the unit into the wide river and it transforms to a raft unit. On exiting the river on the other bank it transforms back to the infantry unit.
C) Buy lots of artillery. Pound the enemy side of the river where you are going to cross, and drop smoke if it is daylight to screen your crossing operation.
D) If you want a really easy battle then you have the normal tools available.
- You could screw the visibility down to 1 or so for a night battle/ (There are no night sights in WW2)
-
You get the choice of river width. Use a small number and the river is less wide, or even can be a bit of marsh (if 0 is selected, AFAIR).
E) If you
really cannot handle the river crossing, then simply exit and restart your save and you should be offered another battle type as it is a random event (in the LC as opposed to a user campaign).
As to your list of "long list of things that don't work" then you should try to enumerate these in the forum and then perhaps those points could be addressed,
if they were shown to have any validity. We do engage with our end users, if somewhat acerbically at times being grumpy 50-something grognard types.

I happen to live in Scotland
, which as far as I recall is not in the USA.
Don lives in Canada
, which again is not a part of the USA.
And that last bit about "has nothing to do with WW2" is
really rather a large piece of flame bait is it not?.
Do by all means feel free to actually itemise your grievances, if any. But please do so in a considered,
adult, manner in future, and
not as an apparent bit of troll-bait written by a 14 year-old which the above posting comes across as.
Please refer to the forum rules before posting again - click on the link marked "Forum Rules" at the top of the page to read these. You have already bent or broken a few of these, already.
