Hello PzC'ers!
Trying to get a handle on bridge damage.
Engineer Unit uses Assault value and number of pers/10 in unit - eg AV-15*(130pers/10) = 15*13 = 195
Bridge as per parameter data - eg 16
Plus other modifiers.
Bit lost from here!
In simple terms, does the assault value have to be larger than the bridge parameter value?
thx
I do not think so. However, that would seem to me to improve the odds for successful damage.

I'm pretty sure the engine performs an "attack" on the bridge. In your example it would be 195 vs. 16. How that's resolved, I don't know. Is it simple odds? (e.g., 195/16 = 12.1 to 1) I'm guessing there's a little more to it than that... If you perform an assault with FOW turned off, the game will show you the odds calculation for the attack. Maybe it shows the odds for a bridge demo?

My understanding of the rule as stated in the manual is that the Engineer unit indeed performs a standard attack against the bridge as if the bridge were a vehicle with a Defense value of 16, and the attack is resolved as per the standard combat calculation (Att. value / Def. value with losses divided by 10).

So kill that 1 "vehicle" and ...
