Hi

Was supporting of Armoured Vehicle Bridge Launchers going to be included? Vehicles like Titan or XM104 Wolverine. They can suppport a tank's weigth and Titan's length is 60m, so more than 1 hex.

Many times we've been through this.

There are no one hex wide streams that are impassable in the game and there is no way in the code to drive a vehicle onto a hex, immobilize it then magically have turn into a terrain feature which is what would have to occur to have that hex treated as if it's a bridge

FYI void1984,
Also no way for a scenario builder to "add" sections of say a pontoon bridge as reinforcements to represent engineers building a bridge.
Since bridges are terrain features they exist on a scenarios map file not its unit list.

Don't forget that instead of AVLB's the Russian and Israeli OOBs have the GSP Ferry (#776) and the M2 Mobile Bridges/rafts (in the Israeli OOB its called a Timsekh #377). In my US Army OOB I have added the M2 Ferry to my barge carrier formation. In real life the AVLBs only span gaps of about 60ft across. So this would be a gap the size of one hex.
