Blowing bridges - James Ward - 03-25-2009 I was playing Stalingrad as the Russians. There are some full water hex bridges that apparently are wired. I know this because an entire unit of 600+ cavalry troopers were blown up crossing one. Is there a way to un-wire a bridge? Is there a way to reduce the chance of one blowing if it can't be un-wired? RE: Blowing bridges - Hadge - 03-25-2009 James Don't feel bad about losing a big Cav unit that way ...you're not the first (I Know) The short answer is unfortunately "no" to both questions. The probabilty of a bridge going up is set by the designer in the parameter data...and unlike a hexside bridge the full hex bridges dont go up till you are ON them You're best solution to the problem is to lead with a very small unit and hope for the best Good Luck Chris RE: Blowing bridges - Mr Grumpy - 03-25-2009 A penal unit driven on by the guns of the NVKD would have been a better choice. :eek1: RE: Blowing bridges - Volcano Man - 03-25-2009 Yes... and a nice battalion of T-34s would be the worst choice, --I think this happened to someone recently. :( If it is any consolation, the probability for a full hex bridge being blown up is usually quite low, so you just simply had very bad luck. Not sure if that helps though... RE: Blowing bridges - MasnarT - 03-25-2009 yep....... bad luck 
RE: Blowing bridges - Lowlander - 03-25-2009 Welcome to the club, I always learn the hard way, phew felt a slight flush com'in on. RE: Blowing bridges - James Ward - 03-25-2009 I have another question about full water hexes and bridges. Can you build a bridge over a full water hex with a bridge engineer? I have been trying to build one for a few days and no luck. RE: Blowing bridges - JDR Dragoon - 03-25-2009 James Ward Wrote:I have another question about full water hexes and bridges.

It will take a number of turns based on the pontoon value from the .pdt file and a skill check based on Morale.
